21 guilty pleasures that are hurting your bank account

Taking Baths

Indulging in a bath after a long day at work can be a relaxing way to unwind — but it will cost you a lot more than a shower would. The average shower lasts four minutes, and uses about 10 gallons of water, according to The Nest. Meanwhile, the average bath requires at least 20 gallons of water. That means you’d slash your water bill in half if you switched from daily baths to daily showers.
