Weathy_1's Five Budget Busters

Free from Broke recently asked his readers to list 5 budget busters. What a great idea. I'm sure I have more than five, but I don't want to bore you.

1. Ninja Bills. This is a term coined by racerx, which means an unexpected outlay money that you that you know you'll have to make, it sneaks up on you. For example, in January our auto insurance increased because C2 got his license. I knew it was coming, but I just didn't see it coming.

2. Speaking of C2, he and his sister are real budget busters. Recently he mentioned going to the prom and he would have to buy tickets. He asked if I would help. I told him I didn't want to go to the prom so I didn't think I needed a ticket. I did tell him I would help him pay for a tux.

3. Vacation. It's planned, and I feel confident that we'll stay on a cash basis, but...

4. Happy Hour. Its seems that happy hours are never planned and are very, very expensive especially when you consider that one glass of wine at happy hour costs as much as an entire bottle at the liquor store.

5. Cash in my pocket. For some reason if there is cash in my pocket I think I supposed to spend it just because it's there.

What about you? What are five things that bust your budget?

One of the things I like about blogging is thinking of titles to my posts. Here are some of my favorite titles.
