One thing that I spent more money than I expected was my badminton racket. Initially, I only intended to buy one racket and could change it to another one if I wanted, but after a few months of playing badminton, I changed it a lot. There are many types, so I decided to splash out, and after three years of playing badminton, I have exchanged a lot, and now I have six or seven rackets at home that I haven't used yet. But only in the past few months have I realized that I spent more money than I planned on badminton. Even though playing badminton usually requires one or two rackets, I not only exchanged them but also bought a lot. That's why I decided not to buy more rackets in the next few months to save money for other things.
