20+ Irresponsible Financial Decisions Broke Folks Made

We all know what it's like to want nice things but to not have the means to purchase them responsibly. It could be as big as a certain pop star's highly in-demand concert tickets or as small as ordering from Grubhub.

First, you start to sweat in areas you didn't think you could. Your brain goes around in circles as your fingers check your credit card statement, your checking account, and sometimes even your savings account (if you have any, that is). You think about how unfair things are for you and just you. It's a very narcissistic and insular experience that you would never share in public because it definitely makes you look bad. Ultimately, you decide to be responsible and to start a budget plan so that one day you can afford to order in again. That, of course, changes in an hour when you scrap those plans because your fingers had a mind of their own and you did, in fact, purchase those concert tickets and order in takeout. Why budget today when you can budget tomorrow, right?
