Having achieved FIRE status, would have thought I have wised up on my spending habits but yet I still incur some money wasting spending occassionally. Thankfully, I have wised up and cut out unnecessary expenses like bank/credit card charges and some insurance premiums but still need to curb some spending habits. Here are some of my recent unnecessary spending (which unfortunately has some relation to my ER status):-
1. I hurriedly enrolled myself in a series of French classes (paid in advance and non-refundable) but because I was travelling quite often, I only managed to attend 30% of the classes and finally dropped off. In hindsight, I should have known that there would be more opportunities for frequent travel and should not have rushed into registering for the classes so soon.
2. Clothings and shoes and bags - with extra time on my hands and the excuse of "I need a complete casual wardrobe to replace my work clothes", I buy too much and have unworn clothings in my wardrobe.
Any you wish to share?
