    Motorcycles and beer (not at they same time, they don't mix!)

    I forgot to add shoe shows :wink:

    If any of you want to model those shoes, I am all for it.

    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.

    My car mainly. Not sure why I feel the need to make it faster, but I do.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    FOOD. I have to buy most of the food i eat cause the rest of my family eats meat and doesn't really buy healthy things. Also, I buy a lot of cooking appliances and such :)

    I spent 6K last year on dance tuition, competitions and costumes for my girls....

    So yeah...it's not a "waste" really... but kind of for an extracurricular activity!

    Shoes. Clothes. Makeup. Not a waste though, lol.
    Toys for my 5 yo.

    Last thing I wasted money on? A 5lb tub of protein powder I hadn't tried before. It's revolting, and now I'm stuck with it for the next month or so.

    What do I waste money on? Like someone else said I enjoy what I waste money on so it isn't a waste to me. but here it goes

    1) Video Games

    2) Going to the Movies

    3) Theme Parks

    4) Gym Membership

    5) Going Golfing from time to time

    Everything on this list I usually do with friends, so to me its not a waste. But what isn't waste in one person's eyes is a waste to another.

    Money? What's that? The hubby and I have 3 boys, yeap boys, so our money goes toward feeding them. They eat all. the. time. But they play soccer, swim and play softball so they're all skinny.

    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?

    I would definitely buy that clock too.
    Hm, nothing specific comes to mind besides music. But give me a few extra bucks to spend and my ebay account and it's on.

    I will tell you when I get the money to spend on useless things or things other than bills, food and clothes for my children

    Video Games
    Computer Parts
    Movies

    Besides paying bills and groceries, this is all we spend our money on. We still live like we're teens even though we're in our 30's and I love it. :)

    Each month I buy myself the new issue of InStyle magazine. It's my guilty splurge.
