Aussies confess their BIGGEST spending regrets to warn others

Australians have confessed their biggest money regrets in attempt to prevent others from making the same mistakes.

They shared their money woes in a Facebook thread with many regretting spending on three main items: trendy fridges, home fitness equipment and rental homes.

Others wished they never purchased a brand new car or joined a gym due to the ongoing and hefty expenses involved. 

One woman said she deeply regrets purchasing a treadmill, as they are not only expensive but it takes up too much space in her home.

Another said she regrets purchasing a new two-door stainless steel fridge with an ice dispenser because she dislikes the design.

A third woman said she bought a property in Darwin, which she now regrets.

One said they too wish they didn’t purchase a unit and wrote: ‘Biggest money pit with body corporate fees! Never again!’ 

‘I spent $5,000 on a hearing aid that was supposed to be adjustable from my phone. Only to be told that that model doesn’t do that, after I purchased it,’ another person wrote.

‘Renting,  so sad to have to pay off someone else’s debt because I don’t have a deposit,’ another added.  

Several others complained about buying certain cars only to find the mechanics weren’t functioning properly. 

‘I had it [the car] for 6 months, 3 months off the road due to it completely shutting down while driving it! Numerous mechanics couldn’t find anything wrong with it,’ one woman wrote.
