Why is that gah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95594 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:57:56 +0000 Bao 95594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate car repairs, they are so unexpected it really makes me mad. Also, license plate tabs $105 for a sticker? Rip off...there's more things but those are the most annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95584 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:40:36 +0000 Andrea 95584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: @BoogieBea: yes, house repairs stink. and there is ALWAYS something. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95582 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:36:12 +0000 chopsuey 95582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@joyjoy: I HATE OUR HOA too!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95575 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:25:03 +0000 joyjoy 95575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HOA. I hate HOA dues. It's now one of our requirements that any place we move from here will have to be HOA free unless we can see real value in the dues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95564 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:57:10 +0000 BoogieBea 95564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost anything house related. A house is such a money pit isn't it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95537 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:01:24 +0000 Alivoo01 95537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I despise house repairs because they're never cheap, but always a necessity!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95534 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:58:52 +0000 heffalump 95534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: We tend to buy things that LO doesn't like and then have to get a different version of the same thing. Like bottles, sippy cups, the swing, bath tub, etc. So annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95527 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:55:49 +0000 tequiero21 95527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i want to say baby stuff haha. i just spent a coupla thousands on baby stuff. i really really really feel like i wasted money and i probably don't need half the stuff i got. don't tell my hubby that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95516 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:51:04 +0000 sulli301 95516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Parking tickets is a good one! My senior year of college I got so many because I always drove to class...I wasted $100s :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95390 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:27:38 +0000 mediagirl 95390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car taxes - in NC, your car is considered property. So stupid!!<br /> Gas - prices are so painful now and we both have wicked commutes.<br /> Unexpected vet bills. :-( One of our puppies has been sick lately and she has been racking it up at the vet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95380 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:21:29 +0000 banana 95380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Parking tickets! UGH! I got 2 parking tickets a few months ago and they were $90 each. $180 down the drain! So annoyed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95253 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 12:48:46 +0000 Modern Daisy 95253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate having no idea whether or not the $800 bill we pay every time we bring the car in is actually fixing anything important. </p> <p>I also think paint samples should be free, just spent almost $30 trying out 4 bad colors and it's back to the drawing board with nothing to show for it. </p> <p>Oh right, and the super high NYC sales and income tax that doesnt' exist in any other state. Yeah, that makes my 6 figure salary basically look like I make $50K. And every other 'NYC' price I pay just for buying something in Manhattan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95204 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:47:23 +0000 heffalump 95204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to get our trees trimmed soon too. But I'm excited for it because when we do we'll finally put up LO's swing that hangs on the tree.</p> <p>I hated spending all that money to get my name changed. Just because I want to have the same name as my husband and family, I have to pay hundreds of dollars? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95202 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:46:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 95202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Mia Wallace: This was going to be mine! I have to do it this month, and it's over 300 dollars! Ridiculous! </p> <p>And getting my oil changed, for some reason I hate that one too, seems like such a waste, even though I know it isn't! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95200 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:45:33 +0000 skibobrown 95200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought 2,000 airline miles from United to reach elite status at the end of 2011. Well... turns out that the miles you purchase don't actually contribute towards your status. That was $75 down the drain :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95186 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:30:55 +0000 Andrea 95186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Mia Wallace: isn't it the pits? license plate tabs are a good one!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95185 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:28:39 +0000 Sophia 95185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: We had to do this last year, too. Ours was $600 and it made me want to throw up a little!</p> <p>I hate paying the cable and internet bill. I don't know why - I think we get our moneys worth each month. I just hate paying it and always put it off til the last minute.</p> <p>ETA: Also, license plate tabs. Hate it! I just had to renew mine for the year....goodbye, $215! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95181 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:26:47 +0000 autumnlove 95181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm...I just hate traveling and buying stuff that I forgot to pack! Such a waste of money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-things-you-have-to-spend-your-money-on#post-95172 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:22:21 +0000 Andrea 95172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a tree cut down today that is too close to our house, which wouldn't be good in case of a storm. That is $800 gone. No one will know that we cut down that tree. I feel like I got nothing for my money but if it ever fell down then we would have a hole in our roof. Blah, blah! </p> <p>What are some things that you hate spending money on? </p>
