When I bought my home in the suburbs, my wife wanted me to keep the small studio where I was previously living ( rental) downtown, because she wanted to use it from time to time ; the rent was not high, however it made a dent in my budget. Finally after 10 years I gave it up, I was upset to pay a rent for nothing (I practically never went back in that studio) and I stopped renting it. I believe thus I lost thousands of $ just to please my wife.
Gambling at the casino had been my biggest waste of money.
To me gambling is a form of entertainment. Get me out to different places, the excitement of whether I will win or lose, and seeing my comps my play earns.
To me it's no different than people who enjoy going to tropical islands or going to different fancy restaurants every date night.
$80K...I bought a condo and when I needed to sell it was $70K under water. I sold it over a year ago and I check to see the the value increased and it hasnt.
Paying $100 per week for a pack a day habit (2016). Totally stupid. Could have saved a million over 40 years.
Buying a house and shouldering all the expenses.
Buying brand new cars instead of pre-used.
Drinking and bars.
$100/wk at a pack a day is $14/pack. I don't remember paying that much when I was there in 2015.
Sorry to quibble, but your math is bad. $100/wk x 52wk/yr x 40 years = $208,000. Lots of money for sure, but not even close to a million.
The money I spent to get divorced was the BEST money I ever spent!
Rg
Ehh the best money I spent was paying for the legal separation. I could care less that we were still married on paper. Financially and otherwise are lives were split long before the divorce was final.
bulimia...food is much more expensive when you're not keeping it down! i'm not going to do the math, even if i could it would be too depressing. let's just say i ate for 10 people for 10 years lol.
