Episode 3011: Julien Saunders challenges us to rethink common expenses, from greeting cards to kitchen gadgets, that drain resources unnecessarily.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://richandregular.com/5-things-you-should-stop-wasting-money-on/ Quotes to ponder: "Do I literally hate greeting cards? Of course not. Well, at least not as much as I hate the excuses some people make for not having enough money to save and invest." "In a world where we can push a button on a screen and actually see someone’s face in real-time, the process of sending greeting cards seems more like a wasteful commitment to clutter and inefficiency than a heartfelt notion." "Whether it’s finally pulling the plug on a stalled career, quitting a cash-draining hobby turned business endeavor, or realizing that we may actually never grow into our home, there are likely better decisions we could all be making with our money."
