What do you waste your money on?

The liquor I enjoy, not what I have to buy because its cheap. I would rather pay $10 for a drink I like then $1.50 for something gross on the happy hour menu.0

If I have the money Electronics! I'm a major geek. :P
Wooohooo a woman that would undrestand how I can go to best buy or frys and lose 2 hours of time and "not" buy anything.0 -
soccer cleats... They have to match my mood/style of play/field conditions. Sometimes I want to take it easy. Most of the time I want to be a Bad *kitten*. Recently, after I started Insanity, I want to be a Speed Freak. By the way, PINK is my favorite color, any problem?0

Books... so, so, so many books .0

I'm overly generous and try to be good to my friends. But, when they take advantage of my money and my kindness I feel that is a total waste. I'm out "X" anmount of dollars and they haven't spent a dime.
I gotta fix that.
Yes, this. When I go out I end up wanting to pay, because I know I make more than the people I generally go out with. When they start expecting it, it gets frustrating though.
You hit the nail on the head...they start expecting it. Especially when they cry poverty but act the total opposite! That's when I get pissed. Especially when I see them buying themselves manicures, sushi, new clothes, paying for their own drinks when they are out with other people even...but when I'm around I'm expected to do, pay, be everything and if not there's hell to pay. Such a waste of not only my money but my time and good nature!
exactly! I have a friends who appreciate it, and try to stop me from paying, and try to take the ticket from me, or pay for me other times to make up for it. Them, I don't mind doing it for.
It's the ones who when we're at a table, and the waitress asks "separate or together?" and they say together without a second thought. Then hand me the ticket when it comes. Annoying.
AMEN! You and I are on the same page with this one! This was a perfect topic for me today, thanks! I got a lot of pent up frustration out.
haha let it out!
like a few months back. i have a friend who's like me, but he doens't make much. he's just a nice guy. well, he got drunk and he was going to cover everyone's tab. totalling out to about 600 or so dollars. I told him no, everyone else stopped me, said "If he wants to, let him." I tried explaining he was wasted, had no idea what he was doing, and that's at least a quarter of his monthly income. that's bs.
so I ended up paying most of it, let him pay some cause he wouldn't let me pay it all, and then left. pissed.
Wow that sux but good for you! Similar thing happened to me this weekend. The straw that broke the camel's back (finally after many many incidents that occured allllllll night) was when we were at the store and me and another girl are loading up on food for this one 'friend' who was screaming and yelling (b/c she was blacked out and being a brat) that the Chinese place was closed and she was starving. So we each dropped some coin so she-and everyone else at the house- could eat. She watched us, arms full of food for HER, then proceeded to pick up one item and refuse to pick up another to share with some girl who was idolizing her all night. My 'friend' was screaming so loud the cops came in to see what was going on. At that point I was tired, horrified and spending way over my limit for HER, but, she can't buy anything but a bag of popcorm? Yet she'll let two of her friends buy all the food she wants to eat and complain about sharing??? I finally spoke up...long story short, bad idea she cussed me out and **** talked me until I had to call a friend to come pick me up who lived an hour away.
The rub was, she sat in the house and talked **** about me for over an hour while I waited for my ride and she ate all the food I bought and even three days later, she has nothing to say for herself other than, I treat people I love like an *kitten* when I am blackout drunk.
Really now?
What a waste of time, money and kindness. Shame on her and I sure won't be doing that again...

I am trying to stop spending so much money on my house and decor. Its very hard though, Pottery Barn is a little piece of heaven on earth.
I also spend a lot of money on hair products and I have my hair done in a salon every six weeks. I think of that as an investment though.0 -
My car mainly. Not sure why I feel the need to make it faster, but I do.0

there's a pair of wonder woman converse that I just found. they are SO mine.0

Books are my #1 splurge. Cookbooks mostly, these days. Then... it's probably vanity items such as lip gloss, body lotion, underwear, etc. Then... just different household items, specialty foods & coffee/teas, cooking supplies, etc. Tech gadgets comes in last... simply because I can't buy them in unlimited quantities... though I would if I could!0

Vintage cameras. I really need to DO something with them now that I have so many. And clothes for my kids. They have too many. I'm usually too cheap and practical to do much more than that.0
-
Shoes, shoes and more shoes.0
-
I'm cheap and don't spend much but if I'm ever in the mood to loosen the wallet I'm buy either
books,
video games,
supplements/nutrition stuff
exercise equipment
Stuff like that.0 -
Tiki Mugs, I have 135 of them and have no intent to stop buying more. Vintage shirts as well0

Clothes, even more now than before
Stuff for my sweet 6 year old son
Books that are piling up on my bookshelf, unread! Need more TIME!0 -
