    I spend about 2k a month eating out, and around 2-3k a month out drinking. Those are my big ticket wasteful spending.

    As of now I spend the most money on eating out and chronic; guess they kind of go hand in hand.

    From 17-20 I wasted A LOT of money on booze, dumb brods, clothes, and shoes.

    I buy a lot of CD's. My friends think im crazy because they just download everything, but for me I need to have the original in all the packaging. Its a collector type thing. Looking back i've probably dropped at least $20000 on music...

    I spend about $2k/month eating out as well, 50% with clients and colleagues, 50% personal. Even if I claim ~$500 against my own company, it's still quite a lot.

    i would say beer (yes, i love my beer haha), coffee couple of times a day at work, lunch in mac hall every fucking day (and i hate everything there haha), smokes, and that's about it. i buy expensive food, and also eat out a lot, but i have to eat and it's good so i don't really see that as a waste.

    i used to dump a lot of money on cell phones, like 500-1000 every month, and then sell it for half the price

    to the OP, i do use synthetic oil in my ek civic, but change it every 20K which is about a month of driving

    last year alone, i've spent 15K on gas! but thats good for me since it's a tax write off!

    for me its suits and the rest that go along with it; I have shirts, ties, and shoes that I've never even worn but thought they were a good idea to buy. gf's also ensure you have $0 left at the end of the month.

    But the most useless thing I think you can do is eat out + drink like rage does. I suppose the social thing can be considered a hobby, especially if you don't have a hobby that you throw money at.

    But I don't consider eating and drinking you can expense to be a waste of money... just a waste of the shareholders money and I would guess a portion of rage's $3k a month bill is funded by the company because thats just too much out of pocket

    I spend so much money on food! I go out to eat everyday and my bank statement is just huge wall of food purchases. The second big spender is gas and third will be my random purchases.

    I spend my money usually on my cars, or on clothes. I love my clothes, i have a pretty insane closet. Haircuts are only $15 every 4 weeks. I'm a student too so I try to really cut back.

    do you drink close to $100 bottles of wine?

    Or does the fact of spending 10x more for a beer or rum and coke there than i do at the Kilkenny turn you on?
