#3: Money Mistakes? We’ve All Been There

Hey Funancers,

If you’ve ever spent half your paycheck on a weekend getaway and then survived on Maggi for a week — this one’s for you 🍜💔

This week, we’re talking about learning from your oopsies.

🤑 Money Nugget of the Week

Track your “Regret Spends” once a month.

Just note down every purchase that made you go: “Ugh, why did I buy that?”

After a few weeks, you’ll see a pattern—and avoid repeating it.

Regret ≠ growth, unless you write it down.

💥 Finance Fail of the Week

True story:

“I once bought this expensive sweatshirt of around Rs. 8000 which I hardly wear now because honestly, I hate it. It was the most expensive piece of clothing I owned & still its my least fav.”
Lesson: ✨ Expensive ≠ Useful.

Got a story like this? Send it in - I'll feature the best one next Friday!

🌍 Cool Thing of the Week
