Do you always lose money randomly?

[UncleWai]

I try to save money all the time, but at the same time I keep forking out my money for the most unnecessary thing.

I forgot to return my textbooks, now I just lost like $200 to the overpriced university bookstore. I also get random parking tickets every month.

Worst of all, I really like to spend money on random objects that cost less than $10, stuff like Hello Kitty rear view mirror, a stuffed animal crab, tons of used cds.


I think I should donate my money for a good cause, I'll get ripped off somehow anyway.

When I was younger I would alway forget to send in my rebates...which is why I bought whatever it was in the first place. That always pissed me off.

Why are you returning your textbooks? If you dropped some classes its one thing to get a full refund, but most bookstores rape you with their used book buyback programs (once just isn't enough for them). Just sell them yourself online or at school.

I just lose out on the full refund period, I want to smack myself right now. The class doesn't even go with the textbook.

Now I might as well go ahead and buy a Sony Vaio notebook, better pay for something that I want now.

Yeah, sometimes I'll send in 2 or 3 rebates to save $75. Other days I'll get a $300 speeding ticket. RMA a motherboard, but procrastinate sending the original back (it's sitting under my bed now). I buy video games and don't play them. I procrastinate paying credit card bills and get late fees. I got screwed on my car because I just wanted to get the purchase done and over with. I also bought $500 of magazine subscriptions once when not really thinking at all apparently.

I hate it so much.
