[quote=Anonymous]Over the winter, my husband and I got really excited about starting a new hobby. In our enthusiasm, we started buying all kinds of supplies so we’d be fully prepared once the weather warmed up. Unfortunately, we ended up buying a lot of the wrong things.

In his excitement, my husband unpackaged many of the items right away, and some of the others are past the return window. I tried selling them on Marketplace, but people in this hobby seem to want everything brand new and sealed, so there’s been almost no interest, even at prices that are basically giving them away.

At this point, I have a pile ready to donate, but I’m irrationally annoyed with both of us over the wasted money. Realistically, it’s only about $200, which I know isn’t life-changing, but I keep thinking about all the other things we could’ve done with that money, and it makes me so frustrated.

Logically, I know we basically spent $66 a month on “winter excitement” and hopeful anticipation, but spring me is having a hard time accepting that.

Does anyone have a quote, phrase, mindset shift, or brilliant sentence that helps you let go of money you’ve already wasted?
