Tell Us About Something You Used To Spend Money On That Isn't Worth It To You Anymore

As we go through different stages of life, some things become more important to us while others...not so much. Looking at what we choose to spend (or not spend) our money on can be a great way to see what we value. And as our values evolve, so do our spending habits.

So if there's something you used to spend money on that you don't think is worth it anymore, we want to hear all about it.

Maybe you used to dye your hair religiously every six weeks. At first, it gave you a boost of confidence and you enjoyed doing it. But as time went on, it started to feel more like an expensive chore. So you went back to your natural color to save some cash and never looked back.

Or perhaps you used to keep your money in a bank that charged all kinds of fees. Until one day, you got charged a $35 overdraft fee for buying a $2 bottled water, and you were annoyed enough to switch banks. Now you're saving the money that used to go to fees, and you're so glad you made the change.

Or maybe back in the before-times, you used to stop for a latte on your way to work. Then, during lockdown, you ordered some gear and got so good at making your own signature coffee drink that you'd 100% rather DIY it than spend money at the coffee shop. Now you're having coffee just the way you like it every morning and saving money in the process.
