In my life as a businessman, I've thrown PLENTY of money away. However, WHILE I was throwing it away, I thought I was investing it. If I could tell WAYYY in advance that I'm about to throw my money away, I'd STOP. But, I dunno how to do that..
In my life as a person, I throw my money away on useless tech gadgets. You love tech stuff too, doncha? I DO drive a 30 year old car. That counts for something, right?
But how much do you spend on maintenance of the car? Unless you can DIY. I just got rid of my 22 year old car. However, that's only because an unexpected "opportunity" to get a newer car for "cheap" happened.
I'm really not much of tech person. My phone is really old in phone years. I just replaced my CRT with a flat screen TV. But I bought that with Amazon points from my credit card (which I pay off each month - knock on wood). I do love my Roku. My TV is a Roku TV. It seems really cheap, so it probably won't last long...
I try to be thrifty, but my house has other ideas.
