Hair cut for a woman


I thought about this until I realized I spend more on haircuts a year than my wife does.

$20/month is greater than $70 3 times a year.

VCRs


DVD players may be under priced, but not VCRs. They never went under $100 in their heyday from what I remember where as DVD players were under $50 less than 5 years after they started mainstreaming.

I keep mine pretty short, so I made a $40 investment 5 years ago and have not paid for a haircut since.

WAY Overpriced:

Cell Phone service with data plan.

How come so many people will complain about their monthly electricity bill but dont bat an eye at their 100 cell phone bill?

I pay mine a month late to make sure they call me twice before I pay my bill. Makes me feel better about their shotty reception and overpriced plans.

I'll add to this:

Residential real estate commissions

That's why I think the Sprint unlimited data is underpriced. Its a relative valuation thing. Taking it while I got it cause that's definitely getting tiered up within a year.

I have a daughter getting married soon.

Weddings should be covered by the RICO statute.

I remember reading an article in The Economist in late Nov. The average Japanese wedding costs $40K. They don't believe in having children until marriage and since marriage is so expensive ...no kids = economic problems for their pension funds.
