25 Things That Cost More Than They Are Worth

PocketEpiphany Published 10/17/2021 in wtf

For the most part, we all have the same goal with our money. When we spend it, we damn well want to get our money's worth!

But there are some products that simply cost way more than they are actually worth. To save yourself some serious cash, you should steer clear of as many of these things as you can.

1.
A big wedding. Not worth it. Go to the courthouse and spend that money on things you truly need.
2.
A horse. We say “the horse is the least expensive part of owning a horse.” It’s expensive to feed, house and keep healthy, not to mention happy. I lived on a farm a lot of my childhood and I still don’t understand why we had to have horses. Don’t get me wrong, I loved them as much as I did my dog, but it was a lot.
3.
Not wearing a condom
4.
Printer ink.
5.
Rent
6.
Food and drinks at sporting events.
7.
Anger - at a certain point, 9 out of 10 times, you expend more energy being angry about it than fixing the problem or letting go.
8.
School textbooks.
9.
Pennies
10.
Snacks at the movies. 7 dollars a pretzel, and they have the audacity to charge extra for cheese?
11.
Driving drunk
12.
Overworking yourself for no reason
13.
Beats headphones. It takes $13 to manufacture but they sell for 100-300 dollars
14.
Restaurant pasta. Huge markup.
15.
Staying in a toxic relationship
16.
Any woman's bathing suit ever
17.
At least half of the housing in California, New York, and Florida.
18.
Bras. Why do I need to pay $80 for a bra just to fit me in the right places?
19.
Restoring a classic car. Basically, you're dumping 10-30k into a car that's maybe worth 1-2k to restore it to a condition that's been out of date for at least 30+ years. But us gearheads don't do it for money. We do it because we love to do it and don't really care what it costs.
20.
Every f***'n stock I've ever bought.
21.
Designer clothing, it looks so good but it’s just not worth it price-wise.
22.
Every microtransaction in every game in the history of mankind.
23.
I'd say whisky in a bar unless you're just tasting them so you can buy your own bottle. Most of the time, one finger of it costs almost as much as a bottle of whatever it is, and it takes zero skill to pour (unlike most cocktails). You're paying for it to be rationed to you.
24.
Insulin.
