Flushing Money Down the Toilet
Flushing Money Down the Toilet
By Elton Camp
More important than what we make is what we spend
There are so many wasteful things we need to try to end
Debt is a financial shackle that very easily holds us back
Pay eighteen percent on a credit card & much money lack
Change oil too soon & buy premium for an automobile
Is a financial waste that you will eventually come to feel
Smoking cigarettes blows money in more than one way
Cost of tobacco, medical bills and insurance that you pay
And then there’s the foolish use of an indoor tanning booth
It costs to use them and that they’re carcinogenic is the truth
Don’t use a cellular phone with features you will never use
Lower priced plans or prepaid phones it is wise to peruse
Buying brand-name rather than generic don’t think you should
For, in reality, in clothes, groceries & drugs, generic is as good
Don’t be afraid, on pricier items, to ask about a reduced price
Many stores will are willing to do it and will respond very nice
Quit buying some unhealthy, sugar-laden carbonated drink
That water is healthier and better always try to stop and think
At freecreditreport.com you will find you actually must pay
At annualcreditreport.com is really free, so please go that way
Another practice that the financial wise will always refuse
Buying unread magazines & gym membership they don’t use
Dining out frequently is, on your assets, a most terrible drain
Thus, it is far better when you eat, at your own home to remain
