EXORBITANT PRICED THINGS

TAX PREPARATION

Unless you have some kind of really complicated situation, you can

most likely file your taxes online using free tools.

NEW CARS

As soon as you drive the car off the lot it loses a lot of value.

Buying a car that’s just one year old is a much better deal already.

RV’S

Like cars they have really bad resale value. Furthermore

you probably won’t use it that much. Renting is a much better idea.

EXTENDED WARRANTIES

Most products are already covered by a manufacturer’s warranty

that includes the majority of potential issues. Besides, by the

time that extended warranty becomes useful you’ll probably

have a bought something newer anyway.

BOATS

As they say, the happiest day in a boat owners life is the day he

purchases the boat. Maintaining a boat can be quite a

financial burden, especially if you don’t use it very often.

TIME SHARES

Although the sales pitch can be quite compelling and there

may be some situations where a time share could conceivably

be a decent investment, generally your best bet is to

avoid them thanks to the numerous hidden costs.

STARBUCKS COFFEE

Your average cup of coffee at Starbucks is marked up by

300%. Making your own at home is usually more convenient too.

COLLEGE TEXTBOOKS

Apart from the fact that college education itself is often

considered an overpriced waste of money, the textbooks

really make things a lot worse. At least rent or borrow them.
