These 7 Things Are a Complete Waste of Your Money

My dad just bought a new fridge. It’s the fourth one him and my mom own in a two people household.

Why — I asked.

Well, one of those fridges stops working during the winter, apparently. Because they have it outside in the cold, I thought. Another one is extremely old and it was gifted to them by an ex-boyfriend of mine from 20 years ago. Wait, what? I had no recollection of such a thing.

The third one is functional, but it’s just not big enough for their needs. Not big enough? It’s as big as they get: 2 doors, 6’5”. For two elderly people. Truth be told, that fridge is always packed to the brim with every species of cheese and cold cuts under the sun, so… to each their own.

This fourth one is a humongous brushed silver beast that’s as noisy as a tractor and probably just as expensive.

My dad was very proud of it. He even got the extended warranty.

Why — I asked, for the second time in a five-minute interval.

Well what if it breaks? He just likes to feel safe. Safe from what? A big fridge? Will it come awake at night to haunt you? Well I suppose the possibility is just as big as it breaking while that warranty is active.

And this very situation is what prompted today’s article: for the love of god, some things are a complete waste of our money, and still…

Here are seven of them. But I might as well start a series with how much money we waste on useless shit.
