How to Waste Your Money

 

A few days ago, I came across an article on Kiplinger.com titled, "20 Ways to Waste Your Money."  With a headline like that, who could resist reading more!?  The piece provides a list of 20 things that many of us do that lead to a complete and total waste of our hard-earned money.  Fortunately, the article also offers insightful ways to find the holes in your budget and plug them for good.

 

The list of money wasters includes things like:

 

Paying to use an ATM

 

Letting your money wallow in a low interest checking account vs. a high interest savings account

 

Giving Uncle Sam an Interest-free loan (by withholding too much money from your paycheck for taxes).

 

Click here to read the full article.  I'm guilty of some of the things on the list.  Are you?

 

After evaluating the "Ways to Waste Your Money list," I thought of one more point that should be added:  Paying Too Much for Lodging!  (What a waste that can be!)  At Value Place, you'll never pay too much for a clean, comfortable, secure hotel room. 

 

The next time you need an extended stay hotel and are looking for incredible value, stay at a Value Place.  Your wallet will thank you.

 

Visit ValuePlace.com or call 800-ValuePlace to find a location and make a reservation.
