1) Forgetting To Pay Bills
2) Bank Fees
3) Tickets [Moving violations and parking]
4) Memberships
5) Subscriptions
6) Letting food spoil in the fridge
7) Wasting Energy
8) Letting your money sit in a checking account
9) Buying DVDs you will never, ever watch, or books you'll never read, or clothes you will never wear...
10) Paying too much for cable
