21 guilty pleasures that are hurting your bank account

Playing Video Games

If you’re an avid gamer, take a deep breath. This one might hurt.

According to Statista, computer and video game sales were nearly $18.4 billion in 2017. And Americans are spending more time playing games, from 17.8 minutes per day in 2008 to 23.2 minutes in 2013. By 2018, you’re liable to put in 28.3 minutes each day playing games.

Don’t overlook potential monthly subscription costs. The popular “World of Warcraft” game costs players about $15 each month. If you’re a console gamer, you’re liable to pay a monthly fee just to play online multiplayer games, too. A 12-month membership to PlayStation Plus costs about $60 — more if you’re paying month to month.
