GUY GOT HIS 1ST JOB, SPENT $4K ON FOOD DELIVERIES CAUSE “DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SPEND ON”

I spent 4000 dollars on food deliveries.

So I was 16 and I just started my first job and I didn’t know what to spend money on, so I ended spending 4000 dollars on food deliveries..

I just feel so f-ed up as I could’ve saved that money instead of being a fat fk

4000 f-g dollars, 1 year later and I’ve finally saved up the amount I spent last year, if I wasn’t like this I would have 8000 right now.

I just wanted to let this out cus I feel so guilty, food delivery is going to kill people I swear, it’s just way too easy.

I’m 11 months free from ordering food deliveries. It felt like coming off an addiction kinda

1. That’s a part of being young and dumb sometimes. I’ve probably spent thousands over the years on dumb sht that I’ve regretted. I chalk it up to being an “idiot tax” and try to learn and move on. Better being a couple thousand now than $100k later in life! You’ll survive, you might just not like it for a little bit, there are worse things in life.
2. This is a great time to make mistakes that won’t have long term effects. You made an error, but more importantly you learned from it. You lost $4000 now, but being more cautious going forward might save you much more than $4000 since you know how much of a moneypit it is.
   If it makes you feel better, I just spent 95k on a machine I’m not even sure I can use anymore after only having it for about a month
3. I once spent $25k on an online gaming account that I played with for only half a year.
4. I’m disabled and sometimes food delivery is the only way i can access a meal. Just to give another perspective on this. The service isnt inherently evil.
