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!
What are some things that you hate spending money on?

@Andrea: We had to do this last year, too. Ours was $600 and it made me want to throw up a little!
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.
ETA: Also, license plate tabs. Hate it! I just had to renew mine for the year....goodbye, $215!

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

@Mrs Mia Wallace: This was going to be mine! I have to do it this month, and it's over 300 dollars! Ridiculous!
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

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.
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?

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.
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.
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.

Parking tickets! UGH! I got 2 parking tickets a few months ago and they were $90 each. $180 down the drain! So annoyed!

Car taxes - in NC, your car is considered property. So stupid!!
Gas - prices are so painful now and we both have wicked commutes.
Unexpected vet bills. One of our puppies has been sick lately and she has been racking it up at the vet.

@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

@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!

I despise house repairs because they're never cheap, but always a necessity!!

Almost anything house related. A house is such a money pit isn't it?

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.

@Alivoo01: @BoogieBea: yes, house repairs stink. and there is ALWAYS something.

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.
