9. Nothing is free

Nothing is free. Just remember that. And don’t sign up for this crap.

I got nailed in the 90s for $800 worth of “free” golf clubs that of course were returnable until I read the fine print and realized that I had missed the return window.
Oh, and the clubs were complete shit. Didn’t know that any golf club could be that bad.

The people running the scam ended up getting charged in federal court and going to jail.

But I didn’t get my money back. No one did.

Since then I made a rule. If anything that is free requires me to input a credit card then it’s not free. And I don’t don't do it.

Of course, I’m drawn to this service or app or whatever it is...
