Online Piracy

The biggest fallacy is that you need to subscribe to HBOgo or Netflix to keep up on your shows. Everyone even calls it ‘watching netflix”” like it’s an actual verb or something. And perhaps it is. But you can watch anything, every movie for the most part, and certainly ever current show, online for free. Sometimes the quality suffers and sometimes there are subtitles you can’t turn off, but you are saving money on the monthly subscriptions and that kind of savings adds up to hundreds of dollars a year, and you are no longer a slave to those companies.

Slightly Used Car

Another way to save money is to get a slightly used car when you’re going for that new set of wheels. If you buy new, you’re probably thinking that you will save money on the car longterm because you won’t have to deal with repairs for a while. And that’s true, you are thinking correctly. But if you get a car that’s a few years older, still from a dealer, you have all the same benefits of minimal repair, but also save a bunch on the initial sticker price. So go to Nissan Los Angeles and check out the slightly used cars they have there. You’ll save money by going to http://www.downtownnissan.com and getting a car there than a brand new car.

Generic Products

One of the most amazing things about modern society is how a company like Advil can sell you the exact same thing as a CVS or Dollar Store and charge you more and for some reason people buy it. It’s absolutely insane to buy Advil. It’s a drug, ibuprofen, and the generic versions are literally the exact same thing. There is no benefit to getting the name brand. In some instances there are, like Coke vs Generic Cola. But not in headache medicine that’s for sure. So you can waste dimes and dollars here and there as much as you want under the false pretense that you’re paying for something that you wouldn’t otherwise be receiving, but know you’re wasting money and not only that, but looking like a total idiot all the while. Don’t be a money wasting idiot, get the generic version of drugs and other things that are the exact same!
