What do you waste your money on?

Look at the new Galaxy S3, the Galaxy Note or the Skyrocket before you look at the iPhone. Just look first and then make your decision.*sigh* I haven't wasted my money on anything fun in a while.
However I am due for a phone upgrade and my Black Berry has been acting up on me. I might upgrade to an iPhone -- I really want to but I told myself I wouldn't yet.
I have an iPhone and will never buy another...ever. Now I love their iMac and I'm ok with the iPad, but I wish the iPad would have come with a USB port.
Anyway, I've had every iPhone model available and I'm through drinking the Apple koolaid with their phones.
The Galaxy Note has some awesome features, but seriously, a phone with a 5" display? I'm really hoping for Sammy to put that out as a tablet or music player w/o the phone. My RAZR is about as big as I'd think is practical for a phone. I see people with Notes and the older Dell Streak up to their ears, and it looks silly.
Sammy makes awesome displays, but the phones themselves look and feel cheap due to plastic bodies. I upgraded from the Nexus S to the RAZR in November because Moto makes a more solid feeling phone. So does HTC, but they seem to put too little RAM and internal storage in their phones.0 -
Golf
Porn
Bourbon
Oriental massages
Maybe not in that order!
You pay MONEY for porn? Like there isn't plenty of FREE porn! "The internet is for porn!"0 -

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.
You are my hero.

Food. It's the only thing I buy so I spend more on it than I should. I need to win the lottery.0

I really don't like spending money, and I am a saver/penny pincher normally. But, now that I have gotten into cycling, I always like to pop by the store and the bike section to find new things/gadgets to put on my bike or replace on an older bike that I have and trying to make ridable again. Besides that, I splurge on workout clothes. Always go to clearance section, but won't stop me from buying as much as I can!!0

Books! I read about 100pgs an hour so the books I buy, I usually read and finish the same day I get. I feel guilty when I buy a new book and still have one at home that I haven't read yet. I have always re-read books because I read so fast but for some reason that really bothers my husband so every time we're at the store, he makes me buy a book...which is no hardship for me, but I still feel guilty.
I spent the last 8 years barely having anything left after my bills were paid and now that I'm in a better job and have $$ left over after bills, I still can't quite shake the guilty feeling when I buy stuff I don't need whether it's books or or clothes.
have you tried the library?
Do you know how long the waiting list is for good new releases at the library? I get lots of free and cheap books, and the new releases I really want to read now I just pay the price for. Books are never an indulgence or waste of money. People who read for pleasure gain many benefits beyond just the entertainment of reading.0 -

Egh...they can be but not for the reason you're thinking of. I have over 1000 novels alone. I have no more space for them....they are double stacked on the shelves and even sitting in boxes on the floor. I have read every book I own and visit the library weekly. I typically read through 3 to 5 books a week. I also hate e-readers as I like the feel and smell of books. I truly am a book *kitten*, I can't stop myself. My family knows to just give me gift cards to book stores for every holiday. Lol.0
