16. Smartphone Apps

Yes, it’s very tempting to press the “buy” button on apps that cost 99 cents or a couple of bucks but, more often than not, we barely end up using the apps in question and/or we could have got something similar completely free.

Going forward, simply do a little research before you buy an app. There are plenty of great free iPhone apps and Android apps – and most of them are just as good as the costly alternatives (which may be cheap, but that builds up over time if you’re buying them regularly!).
