Recreational items, such as ATVs and boats, topped the list of regrets, with cars and fitness equipment also viewed as significant mistakes.
September 19, 2019—Foster City, CA--Personal loan website, AmOne.com, surveyed consumers to find out their biggest spending mistake ever. The good news: most respondents’ greatest mistake cost them $5,000 or less. The bad news: the second-largest group surveyed (28%) reports their biggest mistake set them back $20,001 or more.
The report notes that the items consumers most regret purchasing are:
- Toys like RVs, ATVs, and boats (22%)
- Car (19%)
- Fitness equipment (18%)
- Education (12%)
- Real estate (12%)
Men were more likely than women to rue expenditures on cars; of those remorseful about an auto purchase, 58% were male. Similarly, 56% of those unhappy with a toy, such as an RV, ATV or boat, were men.
Women had an edge on second thoughts about fitness equipment purchases, with 52% of those listing such equipment as a mistake being female.
