10 Things That Are No Longer Worth It Because They've Become Expensive

1. Children

Whether you want children or not is a profoundly personal choice, but one Reddit user was brutally honest about the cost of raising children these days.

2. Subscriptions

You pay whether or not you utilize them. Excellent deal for the organization. Perhaps not a fantastic deal for you.

3. Disney World

You can practically go to Europe and spend a week there for less money than you can spend at Disney World. A Disney vacation for a family of four can easily cost thousands of dollars.

4. Most Fast Food

Fast food has quickly become prohibitively pricey. Panera is often regarded as one of the most costly fast-food establishments in existence.

5. Cable Television

Many people have abandoned cable television in favor of streaming options, but tread carefully. Many consumers pay the same amount for several streaming platforms as they do for cable television.

6. Junk Food

Junk food, like fast food, is becoming increasingly pricey. Not only are potato chips, doughnuts, and canned foods hazardous for your health, but you're also paying more for the luxury of eating them.

7. Concerts

In recent years, concerts have become exorbitant. Tickets vary, but SeatGeek told the Wall Street Journal that the average concert ticket price has quadrupled in five years, from $125 to $252 in 2023.

8. Drinking at Bars

Going to a bar once in a while is acceptable, but if you make it a habit, those bar tabs can easily set you back hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars each month.

9. Boxed Cereal

According to the Consumer Price Index, cereal prices have risen by 14%. Most cereals now cost more than $5 per box, and often much more.

10. Pizza

When a huge pizza pie costs over $20, you know things are improving. Washington state has the most costly pizza, with the typical pizza costing more than $23.
