The Four Types Of Expenses (from Budgets are Sexy)


by Alex

According to Nik Halik, there are 4 types of expenses, all of which are good, except one. The four types of expenses are as follows;

Lifestyle Expenses

Lifestyle expenses are expenses such as; eating out, vacations, concerts, entertainment, and road trips. These are practically memory building costs that involve other people. They are all good, but only in moderation.

Protective Expenses

These costs are associated with protection of important things in life, such as; health, house, cars, and businesses. This also includes all insurances; car, life, house, and disability. Also, this includes an emergency fund to protect you from falling into debt. This type is also good, but much easier to manage if you are wealthy.

Productive Expenses

These costs are those that improve your life, especially long term improvements. This includes education, career, investments, and/or anything that you need to spend money on to earn money.

Destructive Expenses

These are the worst type of costs. This includes bad habits, credit card debts, and anything else that makes you spend money for nothing in return.
