    Now that I can buy clothes off the rack from some great stores.. Shopping! I have a new wardrobe to buy. Shoes.. yes even my feet shrank.

    I love to travel and go to concerts and games. Anything that keeps me busy and moving! I'm there!

    I feel great, I want to look great!

    I find myself slowly getting addicted to Groupon. Been buying way more deals from it than I originally intended. Also, music from my cell phone's Google Play Store and e-books from Amazon's Kindle Store. It's waaay too easy to buy stuff with just a click of a mouse button these days!

    ^^^^ ME! I am so bad about online shopping. BAAADDD
    ♥ Tattoos
    ♥ Hair dye
    ♥ Doggie toys
    ♥ Clothes that I wear once and decide I HATE it
    ♥ Random nonsense like old mobster pics that are framed throughout my house

    I really should stop spending so much money, I need to be saving for my Hot rod that I want to restore...I am just horrid with money.....

    Minus the mobster pics and doggie toys THIS IS ME TOO!!!

    I'm typically a fairly frugal person.

    But sometimes I say screw it, and go spend money on some pretty neat (if useless) things. Recently I bought an expensive pair of sunglasses and some watches. In the past it's been things like one of those ecospheres. Right now, I'm totally thinking of buying this : http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/lights/e7f1/?icpg=Banner_MeltingClock_20120617


    So, what's your guilty pleasure for just throwing away your money?

    Pretty much anything with a processor. I own more tablets (6- 1 iPad, 5 Android), laptops (4 Macs/ 4 IBM compatibles running various flavors of Linux and a Win7 box), phones (7, with two in use at any one time receiving calls from 4 phone numbers), desktop computers (2, though I barely use anymore--no reason as laptops are plenty powerful these days), music players (14!--8 are iPods), game systems (2), streaming devices (2--Apple TV and Roku) and other sundry gadgets than most entire families will own in a lifetime. I've retired countless computers, phones and handheld computers.

    I'm classic computer geek.

    Starbucks and eating out. I don't eat out that much anymore though. But still more than I can afford. Also I spend too much money on products... like hair and skin products. I guess that's pretty much it.

    unfortunately due to small parasites that grew and detached themselves from my body and now reside in my house and eat all my food, I don't have any money to waste!!!!

    Love it!!! That's me too :) I feel your pain!

    Shoes

    Dresses (i never wear pants or shorts in the summer)

    Quality food for my dogs (They are on a RAW diet)

    Ultra fast internet (25Mb download/7Mb upload @ $79/month)

    iPhone plan ($68/month, ridiculous)

    $68/mo for a smartphone is ridiculous? I pay $102 to Verizon and $55 to T-Mo for my two accounts.

    random crap for my nieces and nephews (all under 8). If I see something cute and on sale that they might like, I can't resist.

    It used to be shoes, purses and clothes. Then I had a baby... so now I waste all my money on things he doesn't need. I see a cool toy, or cute outfit... I buy it. I also go out to eat more than I should. Dropped $100 at Bonefish Grill taking my man out for his birthday. But that was sooooo worth it! I'm very anal with my money, always a fear I won't have any, so I spend a lot less than I used to!
