Makeup might feel like an extra hobby or accessory, not something that’s an essential part of our lives. And that’s partly true, especially for those that don’t use it on a regular basis or at all.
Unfortunately, some people’s employment rests upon wearing makeup (blame stupid beauty standards and old-school thinking for that one), so to them, it’s definitely necessary. Plus, for those with sensitive skin, makeup can turn out to be an extremely high expense.
Fertility Treatments
For many lucky people, getting pregnant the good-old natural way is pretty easy and cost-free (though, prenatal care can still cost a pretty penny). But, some people might need a bit (or a lot) more help.
Fertility treatments, therefore, are extremely expensive, especially when you have to go through this costly process again, and again, and again. Beyond the mental and emotional tole that these treatments take, they also make a pretty sizable hole in your wallet.
Vacation
We all need a bit of a break every now and then, and taking a trip or going on vacation with the family is one of the best ways to relax and recharge.
But when things become truly dire, like they are now for so many people, those have to go. Taking some time to rest and spend time with family, shouldn’t be something that only the rich get to enjoy.
Subscription Services
Okay, yes, having thousands of shows and movies for all ages and of all genres isn’t exactly essential. But, we’ve definitely gotten used to having so much entertainment in the palm of our hands.
Plus, we often use it to relax and disconnect from how extremely expensive and difficult the world is right now. That’s partially why Netflix has definitely come under fire after raking up its prices and making the service less affordable.
Sadly, the world is becoming more and more expensive, and it really is happening everywhere around the globe. Prices of just about everything, from tweezers to toilet paper, are jumping in a way they haven’t in decades. People online have shared the things that have become so expensive that they have to think twice before paying for them. You’ll be shocked by the posts we selected. We sure were surprised by some of them!
