Tattoos<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tattoos are great. This isn&#8217;t meant as a slight to those who purchase them. But quality tattoos cost a lot of money. Even a bad tattoo is still costly. Let\u2019s say you want a tattoo that takes three or hours to complete. A 40 hour work week will not even cover it.<\/p>\n<p>How are you paying your monthly bills? Are you still able to make ends meet? Body art should not be a priority in most instances.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"2_New_Cars\">2. New Cars<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A brand new car loses 11% of its total value once it is driven off the lot. On the other hand, a user car is not going to have the same level of depreciation, so that you can avoid taking this sort of hit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilculator.com\/blog\/how-to-live-almost-rent-free-without-moving-to-an-apartment\/\">How To Live Almost Rent Free Without Moving To An Apartment<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Barely scraping by? You have no need for a new car. A quality used car works just fine.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"3_Leasing_Vehicles\">3. Leasing Vehicles<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is worse than purchasing a brand new car. The car is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilculator.com\/blog\/how-to-make-100000-a-year-with-rentals\/\">being rented<\/a> and is given back to the dealership when it is worth far less. Worst of all, if you go over, you pay for each mile.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"4_Larger_Homes\">4. Larger Homes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This financial sin takes place when you have far too much home for your needs. Do you need all those bedrooms and bathrooms? This can tie up your purchasing power.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking to lower your costs, downsizing is in your best interests. The smaller the home, the easier it becomes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilculator.com\/blog\/how-to-save-thousands-on-your-next-property-purchase\/\">save funding<\/a> for future <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilculator.com\/blog\/is-buying-real-estate-investment-in-the-beginning-of-a-recession-a-mistake\/\">real estate investments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"5_Restaurants\">5. Restaurants<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cooking a relatively easy meal at home lets you save money and hold onto the leftovers for days to come. Did you know that the average American eats out 18 times per month? Meal prepping is crucial to avoiding these types of expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, you are turning each step forward into two steps back. Cut back on eating out to free up some budgetary space.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"6_Bars\">6. Bars<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Those who spend time in bars can probably tell you that the stereotypes perpetuated by shows like Cheers are fairly accurate. The same people really do plop themselves into the same stools each day.<\/p>\n<p>Does this describe your days? First off, bars are expensive. While purchasing alcohol from the liquor store is a &#8220;better&#8221; financial choice, it is best enjoyed in moderation. If you are short on cash, drinking is not necessary.<\/p>\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.17 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad2\" id=\"quads-ad2\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px;\">\n\n <!-- WP QUADS - Quick AdSense Reloaded v.2.0.17 Content AdSense async --> \n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" >\nvar quads_screen_width = document.body.clientWidth;\nif ( quads_screen_width >= 1140 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:550px;height:90px;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-3164542121802998\" data-ad-slot=\"4497930067\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width >= 1024  && quads_screen_width < 1140 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:550px;height:90px;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-3164542121802998\" data-ad-slot=\"4497930067\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width >= 768  && quads_screen_width < 1024 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:550px;height:90px;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-3164542121802998\" data-ad-slot=\"4497930067\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width < 768 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:550px;height:90px;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-3164542121802998\" data-ad-slot=\"4497930067\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }\n<\/script>\n\n <!-- end WP QUADS --> \n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"7_Cable_TV\">7. Cable TV<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just ask any of your friends or loved ones who have sprung for the expensive if they own their own home yet. The answer is not going to surprise you all that much. Cutting the cord is a great way to avoid these expenses and pocket some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilculator.com\/blog\/how-to-make-money-from-cheap-houses\/\">extra cash<\/a> each month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilculator.com\/blog\/debunking-the-sweat-equity-myth\/\">Debunking The Sweat Equity Myth<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a wide range of more affordable options out there, including Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu and Amazon Prime. There&#8217;s no excuse to remain tethered to the old ways of doing things.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"8_Television\">8. Television<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Television does not have to be a money drain in and of itself. However, the money that is lost when we are not using the time wisely cannot be made back. Time is money and if you have time to watch several hours worth of television per day, it is time to get a second job.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"9_8220Treating_Yourself8221\">9. &#8220;Treating Yourself&#8221;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t need it and can&#8217;t afford it, there is no reason to &#8220;treat yourself&#8221;. Learning the difference between want and needs is important. If you truly want to be debt free and achieve financial freedom, you need the wherewithal to avoid the &#8220;treat yourself&#8221; purchases that the Tom Haverfords of the world partake in.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"10_Cigarettes\">10.

Hiring Out<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is a common area of debate but it has very little to do with home repair. These debates are more focused on the idea of making sure that you are handling basic household tasks on your own. Landscaping and other forms of maintenance should always be handled directly.
