Over the years I have forked out £1000s on services and insurances that I didn’t need, allowing myself to be taken in by the sales talk and being too naïve to realise just how much I was being charged overall, and for what.
Here are just a few of my financial hates. I’m sure there are dozens more.
Upgraded bank accounts.
I used to pay £12 a month for mine and hardly used it. I have since cancelled, saving myself over £100 a year.
Mobile Phone Insurance.
Another con I have fallen for in the past. And not just mobile phone insurance. Any kind of product insurance is usually a rip off, and many of them I have fallen for.
ATMs that charge
These are appearing everywhere in my area at the moment, and at an average of £1.70 per transaction, I simply refuse to use them, so I now have to go out of my way to use an ATM that doesn’t charge me a fee to access my own money.
