What is a non-refundable?

Okay, so you wanna know what “non-refundable” means, huh? Well, basically, it’s exactly what it sounds like. Think of it this way: you hand over your cash, and that’s it. Gone. Like, vanished into thin air.

Nonrefundable (adj.): It just means you cannot get a refund. No take-backs! Once you buy it, you’re stuck with it. You know, like that questionable neon green sweater I bought online last year? Yeah, totally non-refundable. Still regretting that one…

For example, you often see this with airline tickets. Non-refundable airline tickets are cheaper, which is tempting, right? But then life happens. What if you get sick? What if your plans change? Too bad! That money’s gone. I learned that the hard way when my best friend’s wedding got moved and I couldn’t get my money back for the flight. Ugh, talk about frustrating! So, yeah, non-refundable can be a real bummer, but sometimes it’s worth the risk for the savings… maybe. Depends on the sweater, I guess?
