21 guilty pleasures that are hurting your bank account

Buying Books

Although reading is not a “guilty” pleasure, buying books that just sit on your shelf is. After all, how often do you actually re-read the books you purchase? The average adult paperback book costs $9.44, according to the School Library Journal, which means that if you read two books a month, you’re spending $226.56 a year on books. And of course, that number goes up if you’re buying hardcover books.

Instead, consider becoming a member of your local public library so that you can read as many books as you want without spending a dime. Or, if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can access many Kindle books for free through Prime Reading.
