The Average Person Wastes $9,700 in Their Lifetime Because of Financial Incompetence
Even if you're GREAT with money, you're still probably going to make a few financial mistakes in your life. And I'm not even talking about all those Beanie Babies and VHS tapes you bought. Their value will still rebound one day.
According to a new survey by PR Newswire, the average person will waste about $9,700 in their lifetime because of financial mistakes . . . or incompetence.
Which means that every adult in this country combined will blow $2.3 TRILLION.
The top four ways we blow money are: Bank fees . . . credit card interest . . . paying higher interest rates than we should . . . and investment losses.
Oh, what the hell.....it's only money!
