    Here in the US South: Expensive pickup trucks. Holy shit are they a waste of money.

    Every time I fuel up our hybrid sedan I will be done fueling and have enough time to go into the store to buy a drink/snack before they’re done spending like $100-200 on gas. For their truck that’s primarily used to commute to their office job that only rarely hauls something home from the hardware store.

      What is even worse it’s that they are less practical than minivan. Most pickups in the States are short bed so you can fit standard lumber or plywood sheets without dropping the tailgate and strapping it in.

      With removable seats I can get full sheets in my minivan along with to 12ft lumber. No risk of it getting wet or falling off the back and I get to enjoy comfort good mileage and AC the whole way home.

    Subscriptions. People don’t realise that small subscriptions add up to a lot of money over time. Calculate costs per year for your monthly subscription and you will realise the seriousness.
