We tend to waste a lot of money on things that we can do without – or things that we can get for free. If you are into cool objects and generally pricey stuff, then this is not for you. However if you are one of those folks who desire to have less clutter in their lives and want to keep more money for more important things, here’s a list of 10 things that you shouldn’t be paying for. 1~Expensive pay tv subscription Pay TV service providers will obviously not like this. But here’s the thing, you might be forking out a fortune every other month to renew your TV subscription. Let’s be frank, how many of us watch all the 100 plus channels they have subscribed to?

If you can access this site, then it means that you can too access online editions of our dailies. Turn on a new page, and start saving that KES 50 for a newspaper on something else.
