What have you personally wasted/spent the most money on? How much?

[Rab1901]

Feel free to share the what and how much. No judgment here. I am just curious.

No need to be super specific like marlboro lights instead of cigarettes, kit-kats instead of chocolate or candy, grey goose vodka instead of alcohol, etc. unless you've actually really spent a whole lot on something very specific.

College tuition doesn't count for most of you unless you've actually spent your own money.

I really mean wasted, not just spent the money on

[Sonorous]

I don't buy things that don't have utility. So I don't consider anything I've bought to be a waste. But I've spend the most money on piano & music related things. Piano, piano stand, piano software, piano hardware like sustain pedals, midi cords, etc.

Damn. Lol, my ex. He was big into mechanics and building his truck. For almost every holiday or big anniversary, I would buy him a $50 or $100+ piece of equipment for his truck, depending on the holiday. It is not cheap…

I don’t make much, and I definitely didn’t work enough when I was with him to afford that, but it made him happy and I thought if I got him what he wanted he wouldn’t treat me like crap. Lesson learned.

I dont really waste money. If its somethhing i want or enjoy then I dont see it as a waste. But im sure I spend the most money on my movie/cd collection, skateboard collection, or gambling. Never in one sitting though but if you total it up per year, yea.

[MCheetah]

I would say college but you said not to...

So I wasted about $500 buying a brand new PC that I have not once used since moving to Korea. It was left in the US and I barely was able to take it out of the box. I still regret wasting my money on it.

When I went to San Joaquin Valley College for a Criminal Justice degree, that was the biggest waste. I never got a single day of work from it.
Later on I got different education that costed less and went into a different career and that education paid off, but the degree from SJVC never did get me anything except debt.

I can't say my gold because of the liquidity so that probably isn't that bad so I suppose the 26YO Glenfiddich that cost me about £350 for a bottle is probably not that wise

If I could thrnknof something morebgeneric than possibly cigars for the overall tag

[CuriousMufuxka]

Hookers and blow. Nah, just kidding. My home has costed a lot more. In the neighborhood of 6 digits counting furnishings and repairs I've made.

[Rab1901]

Hmm do you feel like you've wasted the money? I really shouldn't have added the "spent" part. I'm going to put that on an update.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Investment, but I'm never satisfied so still considered a waste.

[PilotWhoPlays]

1200usd on gambling a couple days ago or around 3500usd on an online game I lost all so yeah all a waste

[exitseven]

yes, definitely college tuition. I had to drop out a couple of times because I ran out of money and it took me ten years to graduate. Then I went to grad school mostly on my own dime.

[jennifer_bloom]

I have over a thousand books that I got during the pandemic and only around 300 or so we’re free.

[DGravez6]

Shamefully, internet porn. Last year I probably spent 2500 bucks on just internet porn
And no im not proud of that at all.

[jahaims]

I spend money on all kinds of things, but it's not a waste if it is something I want.

[Slim57]

Women, dont know how much or care how much I just know whatever it was it was a waste
