Money is a sophisticated subject because some people save it, others spend it wisely, and then there are those who end up wasting it. In this collection, we have found a series of short stories about people who lost their money in unpredicted and surprising ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story 1:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A guy I worked with had a long-distance relationship with this girl he\u2019d yet to meet in person. Then, suddenly, she told him she could fly out and meet him in a month. At the time, he lived in the basement of his folks\u2019 place\u2014not something he had disclosed earlier in their chats. In a panic, he got a new apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then he went to one of those furniture rental places and rented an entire apartment\u2019s worth of furniture: a couch, tables, a dining set, a bedroom suite, a TV, etc. The whole apartment was filled with rental furniture, which, if you don\u2019t know, gets expensive really quickly. So after all this, the girl finally showed up. They went to his apartment, and that\u2019s when she told him that they should break up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t want to do it over text and without meeting him at least once. She thought it wouldn\u2019t be fair to him. She stayed one night and got on the plane the next day. Apparently, her stop in our city was just an extended layover as she was heading to Europe to tour with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She slept in the rental bed, and he slept on the rental couch. The next day, he drove her to the airport in his rental car. I don\u2019t know how many thousands he dropped for that one breakup date, but man\u2026 what a waste. \u00a9 aussydog \/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story 2:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I decided to fulfill a childhood dream and install a single-lane bowling alley in my basement for $50,000. It sounded like the perfect way to host parties and keep myself entertained. But after the novelty wore off, I realized no one wanted to bowl more than a game or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I\u00a0just have an\u00a0incredibly noisy, space-hogging reminder of\u00a0my\u00a0poor impulse control. I\u00a0could\u2019ve gone on\u00a020\u00a0amazing vacations with that money instead of\u00a0sitting alone in\u00a0my\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
