Do you guys ever regret spending money on certain things?

[the_only_turek_fan]

Like the t-shirt you had to have but only wore twice and now you don't like it.

Or the time (more than one in my case) that you spent more than a 100 bucks at the bar.

Or spending money on lunches that are 15 bucks when you can easily bring one from home. I am not that bad with this, but there are times when I spend 6 bucks on a useless jugo juice.

I am not to pleased now that I look back. I could have saved a few extra thousand bucks. Money that could really be usefull right now.

tuition on my first degree (psychology). The other one should be money well spent though.

I've wasted money but I really don't care. Live in the present, not in the past. Don't beat yourself up about past purchases, it's just a waste of energy.

I always look around at the stuff at my room and think the same thing. Like my hat collection, there's like 60+ hats sitting on the top shelf there and I counted about 7 that I actually have worn more than once. I'm quite bad for the eating out part, I always spend too much when I go out and it happens way too often. I'm going to be going back to school soon and I really wish I saved some of that money since I can't work full time anymore when school starts. I could always sell my stuff on ebay but it feels like even more of a waste selling things for a fraction of the price of what I paid for. Money is easy to make but hard to keep.

Taxes.

Every time I get my Visa bill I regret it. However, I generally like all my purchases.

The lunch thing is the worst for me.

[I-Hate-Hulse]

Useless gadgets bought on an impulse. Like the wireless web cam that was cheap on a Days of Dell Sale. Still not sure why I bought one. Food dehydrator sounded good at the time but I just never used it.

Unfortuntely, my Wii is falling into this category...

I think i've mamaged my money quite well over the years. However that doesn't mean I might have made the odd foolish purchase or two.

I tend to go a bit crazy on clothes from time to time. It's hard for me to go into Winners and not walk out with a shirt or two.

When it comes to big ticket items I don't buy on impulse. I tend to walk away and think about for a day or two. If I buy on impulse, in a lot of cases i regret the purchase and end up returning it.

I also try to avoid buying things on credit via the bank or through my credit card. I try to pay cash for most things. Buying a car and a house are the exceptions to the rule. Truth is I hate being in debt and having to pay interest on my loans.

There are only a few things I regret spending my money on, mostly it's the booze I only spent 9 months drinking heavily but looking back it was a waste. I also regret buying my guitar more so because of my lack of motivation to learn how to play it, I would love to play it but lessons are hard to fit into my time, and books never work because i"m a left and all the books seem to focus solely on righty's, that or I just don't understand the books. I also regret a few videogames I've bought, Path Of Neo, and GTA San Andreas I played both maybe 4 or 5 times. My wife might say my collection of Flames stuff may be a waste but I love it all, even my pen and pencil set that's shaped like a Flames golf bag, I show my support for my team and I don't regret spending any of that money.

Good god, don't get me started. I've wasted money on so many stupid things in my life it makes me sick to look back. I should be a multi millionaire with the oppurtunities I've had, but instead I'm a poor broke schmuck. If you want to learn how to be a total poor arse, PM me, I can give great advice on how to waste away every dollar you earn and have next to nothing to show for it.

Damn! What a tragically great post.

Personally I'm totally regretting one of those $100+ bar nights right now. Sometimes you just gotta celebrate, but it sure doesn't make the hangover any easier...

I regret the 2 hot 'n ready pizza's I bought from Little Caesars tonight. I had leftovers in the fridge already.

[MonsieurFish]

i was at the stampede and figured id buy a lemonade... and since it was only 1.50 more i bought a jumbo one for 5$. worst purchase ever, even though it was only 5 bucks, there was no point in buying it. it was regular lemonade. the other day i bought the biggest sized slurpee they had (cause its such a deal compared to smaller sizes..._ i didnt really want it either and ended up throwing basically all of it away after. they're small but im like... why the f did i buy that? worst idea ever

I don't know about you but left over pizza for breakfast is great.

[Engine09]

I don't smoke and stopped drinking years ago so that rules out the stupid stuff.

Hockey sticks and ice time can get expensive but no regrets there.

Bah. We're all gonna be dead someday anyway, so have at 'er with no regrets. (Hookers and blow is like crack to me. No judgment here).
