This is a follow-up to my other post of how I live frugally. These are some ways which I don’t live frugally.
Lunch. I’m always extremely lazy to bring my own lunch to work so I’m always buying lunch, which gets expensive over time. Add to the fact that I don’t eat breakfast at home and end up eating two meals at work. This isn’t a bad deal in that I am actually working and getting paid so putting food in my stomach so I can be disgusting intelligent and nice to guests at the museum isn’t a bad idea.
Car maintenance. I generally get all my maintenance done at the dealership because I don’t want them to ever bitch about anything if something in my car fails while it’s still under warranty. I recently just paid about $400 + tax for a scheduled (and overdue) 2 year maintenance on my car.
As for gas I don’t buy into the BS that one brand is superior to another. Generally I go with whoever has the cheapest gas (which is usually Lukoil or Citgo near my house).
Not much else do I really “waste” money on. Bowling, movies, occasional dining out are things that I consider to be justified expenditures.
