Things you\'ve wasted lots of money on when you were younger
I'm not talking about cars, TVs, furniture. That's what you should be spending money on. This thread is going to have things relevant for people of different generations (at least I think).
For me, for example, when I look through some old things I have it would be CDs. Totaling to about 1200$ worth, I have no idea how I had that much money when i was 13-17. I was always broke as a joke. Also magic cards, but i don't have a total for you, just a large box. Just got me wondering with compounding interest, if i had decided against buying those and say shoving that $ in an interest bearing account how much i'd have today. So I'm assuming that older people (i'm 24) may have different money wasting objects that they've acquired in small amounts over a long period of time that are just a ridiculous waste (nowadays u can get music for free) I'm going to take a stab and say TY beanie babies, and DVDs are the new-ish things that people have wasted $ on. So state your age and time period you've purchased the things that essentially to you is worthless as of today (whether u've lost interest in it or you can get it cheaply) in list format: age 24, acquired 13-17: 1200$ worth of CDs >500$ worth of MTG cards |

Re: Things you\'ve wasted lots of money on when you were younger
Nixing cars from the discussion is kinda dumb, since that's the primary thing that people completely blow their money on. They depreciate, and most people buy cars that they shouldn't. By shouldn't, I mean that they end up paying 50-100% of the car's value in interest because they had $2k and bought a $30k car.

stereo equipment for my car [/ QUOTE ] as in blown out speakers? i've spent a lot of $ on my stereo crap too, i guess i should add that. but it wasn't lots of small crap that built up. you buy it once, you have it forever. i guess i could see where ur coming from though, my biggest buy is the Kenwood Music Keg for 600$ (20gb hard drive cd changer) |
