    These days we are spending a lot on travel,Be it local transport or for a holiday.Lack of proper planning and postponing the things are few reasons.If we had planned earlier(which is possible) we could have got the flight tickets for cheaper prices.As we kept postponing the things,we bought them for high prices :(

    Need to take care of this from next time.Its always good to plan ahead and book early as soon as you decide a place for your holiday..

    Welcome Srividya :)
    yeah even my SIL wastes a lot on kids toys..any toy would just survive for 2 days..if not three..
    We need to teach the kids to take care ofthem as soon as they finish playing..

    I too waste lot of money buying plenty of clothes for myself and sometimes they dnt fit me and after having kiddo i bought too much clothes and toys for him & each toy is just for 4-5 days........ I try to cease my temptation but sometimes can't....I made budget but always cross the limit..........

    I confess I do the same ,I have 2 full suitcases jam packed with new clothes with tags, with no space to hang them in my closet and yet have never used them.Dont even talk abt shoes and boots that I have.I avoid goin to malls just coz the temptation is so hard to resist.
    Now what I do is I have a list of things "that i want and that i need" , so wen i go shopping i take it with me and also i wait for the item to be put on sale.I leave my cards at home when i go shopping and take only cash esp for shopping.If i really like something i just put that thing/item down and walk around the store and then when i think abt that item i liked the urge to buy is gone..

    Moreover if I'm really crazy on something i skip my shopping one month and save that month's $$$ so i can combine it with the next month and buy esp for gadgets..Moreover the gratification of waiting and saving and then buyin is so worth it!!!

    i waste my money mostly on clothes.. but recently i am trying to control that, everytime i have an inclination to buy, i think that, first give away the clothes that are not used for a long time before buying.. but i never get time to clean and give away the old ones. and hence due to lack of space i think..:bonk no no.. u have to clean and only then buy..

    I waste my money on craft items like threads of different kind. I can't stop from buying when ever I see something new.I am trying to contain my habit.
