What Is The One Thing That You Hate Paying For But You Have To?

[sidney]

Well, I seldom know a person that likes to pay their bills, but of course they have to. So do you have a bill that you really hate paying for? Aside from bills, are you obliged to spend on something but you don't want to? For example, if you're male then you have to shoulder the bill everytime you go out on a date if you have a gf. Or you don't want to smoke anymore and would love to save money by not buying it, but you just can't seem to stop? As for me, I hate topping my phone load credits. I don't mind paying for my internet connection, but topping my phone is an expenditure that I hate. And since I use a prepaid phone, guess what? I only top it when I need to text someone, lol.

How about you? What expenditure is it that you have to buy even if you don't want to?

I hate paying for my insurance bills. As we speak, I'm already 4 months delayed. I know it's important to have insurance if you want to have a secure tomorrow not just for your self but also for your future family, but the monthly fees are sometimes a bit much to bear (especially when you have other plans in mind). Still, I endure because I know all this is going to pay off one way or another. I have 8 more years to go after all.

Top of my list is tax and utility bills. I feel that most of the time we're bled to death by these bills and I often fantasize about how much I could save if I didn't have to pay for them. In fact when I lived in the UK, I had a friend who was dead set against paying the council tax; so much so that he went to great lengths not to pay it. He didn't see why he had to, and point blank refused to pay it.

I would also have to throw insurance into the ring. Man that is one plan that was devised to part you with your money. Pay and pay in the chance that something COULD happen someday, that don't mean it will, but it could. :bag: It feels so much like betting against yourself. I guess auto insurance makes sense, but this new medical insurance baloney in the U.S they can keep.

I also don't like all the taxes they take as withholding from my pay each week. What chaps my shorts about that is that whenever you go for credit or to qualify for anything financial they consider your gross wages, well that sure is not what I actually have to take home and use every week. If I actually got that full amount I probably wouldn't need to try to get credit. It is not like I get to choose some of the withholding amounts. Currently $175 a week comes right out of my check, and goes right to someone else. That's $4.36 of my hourly wage that I make for the state and federal government and yet I still have all sorts of little taxes to deal with that also goes to them, which I additionally do not control short of not using whatever is taxed. Pretty hard when it's gas or food.

I really hate when it is time to fill up my SUV with gas. Gas prices fluctuate all the time. The summer months are always really hard. This is something that has to be done. You cannot get around this at all. I have to get the kids to school and I have to be able to get around.

Water is definitely the number one thing I do not think we should have to spend money on. Well, I guess we don't *have* to spend money on it, but I don't like the idea of my child getting fluoride, so I usually get bottled water as a substitute. I guess it works since it's really cheap, but I just wish the tap water was okay, that would be so much more convenient.

 

[missbishi]

I hate paying for water too. Here in the UK, we pay a flat yearly rate and I really resent having to do so. I know we are lucky to have limitless clean water when so many people in this world don't but I still begrudge it.

 

[sidney]

Water? We have cheap water bills over here since it's always below $25 per month, but if you are obliged to pay a flat rate monthly, then if you consume less water then that is indeed annoying. It's like paying for a buffet meal when you have a small appetite.

 

[Springtime]

I dislike paying for water. I should it should be provided to citizens free of charge.

 

[freelancermaria]

Although I dislike paying for my medications, I am forced to. They are expensive. My maintenance medications cost the majority of my income.

 

[Kakapo Dundee]

Very laid back about stuff here. If there's one thing that I it's paying someone to fluff around cutting my hair for 20-25 minutes. Navy barber could give you a buzz cut in 3-5 minutes, no chit chat, sit still if you don't want a free piercing.

 

[cherry123]

i don't like paying for my food because sometimes it is quite high after ordering a three course meal but I have to pay.

 

[Stardom22]

I hate paying for the health insurance fund in my country yet it doesn't help you to get treatment other than paying your money once more for treatment

 

[cherry123]

I just hate paying for things I just want to always have my money but this is not even possible.

The thing is literally not fair
