lol. Dude Magic the Gathering #10 are you kidding me. For anyone who plays magic they will agree that that is where the majority of there money goes towards. I’d say it has the potential to be the world biggest waste of money!!!!

I don’t do any of the things you listed. Only occasionally do i eat lunch out but for the most part i bring lunch to work.

My biggest money wasters? I guess i hate it when i lust for an ice-cold Diet Coke and for over $1.30 at the vending machine at work when i could buy them for about .30 each at the store.

I’m pretty frugal. Occasionally i’ll buy clothes, but it’s not a habit or entertainment anymore. I pay myself first (maxing out the 401k and IRA and an extra $425 monthly toward my mortgage, which is my only debt) , as every guru advises, and there’s little left over to fritter away.

Becus i don’t fritter my $ on little stuff like eating out tabs, clothes or trinkets, i do have $ for the always expensive home improvments/maintenance. Like next week, i have to have a front stoop reset on concrete and at the same time i’m expanding a brick patio in the back at a cost of $1500. A lot of $, but at least i can choose (wisely i hope) how to spend my discretionary $ for maximum value.

This is a fantastic and on track listing of everyday spending that people all over direct their cash towards! Remember, casinos use their casino chips instead of cash to lull you into the idea that it has no real value, so its easly placed on the table and if lucky won back. But more often it is lost without much regret. Remember One Million Dollars will pass through your hand over your working lifetime. How much of it will you keep?

I am guilty of many of these and more, but I’ve also learnt the hardway, that’s why i set up my site and added a money saving section. I’d also add to the list take out coffee. Buying a coffe from starbucks each day can set you back $4-8 dollars. Do this each day and in a year you can see the size of the wastage!

Street – welcome to Moolanomy! That’s funny, I used to do that in college and I don’t think I looked very good back then. I think I can live with spending $12 for a hair cut once a month.

However, one thing I did forget for the ladies — going to salon could mean a lot more than expensive haircut — e.g., manicure, pedicure, etc.

For guys… Don’t waste money on haircuts. Get a pair of WAHL clippers and buzz your own hair. With a one time expense of 20 bucks you can permanently do away with the hassle of going to a barber \ salon, and you will save a lot of money over time… not to mention you will be one of those cool looking Billy Zane like bald guys.
