From the lofty perch of old age, and after a lifetime of thrift, I declare that I am qualified to comment on how not to waste money.
All this leads me to one conclusion: We’re unable to control our spending or manage our money. Here are 16 things that this 75-year-old considers big money wasters: 4. Restaurants.
