Things you've wasted lots of money on when you were younger

It was CDs for me too. Back around ages 11-14 it was like a competition amongst my group of friends. Most CDs are now lost or scratched to hell, especially my favorites, but I did generally get good use out of them then. That's just what ALL my money went towards.

I'm 26 and when I was 13-17 I blew a ton of money on RPGs and CCGs. 18-23 it was CDs and music gear.

For the first two years I played poker I spent everything I made except $50k for my bankroll at the end of it all. Thinking about this makes me really sad as I have none of these possessions anymore. Seriously, save your damn money.

I have a bunch of baseball cards, probably like $1500 wasted as a kid at the very least.

Pokemon cards made me mad kid money($600?). I played the game for like a day. Then I traded up to better ones then sold them on ebay. Eventually I went hopping from Wizards store to store with my mom and a friend buying like 30 packs a store(there was a 10 pack maximum/per person lol). I went home with ~300 packs of pokemon cards on my table and opened and sorted them. I had like 8 charizards at one point and sold them when they were going to crazed parents at christmas time for $80+.

Baseball cards, basketball cards, MTG cards, Overpower (Marvel) cards. I even bought cards of some baseball strat game with dice.

Also, sneakers. Every 3 months my mom bought me $150+ Nikes when I would've been happy with $20 LA Lights.

In HS, we used to have 4-5 player leagues, drafting pretty much all-star teams out of either one or both leagues. The cards were for the 1977 season, so the Carew and Rice cards were usually among the first three picks.

We later bought the cards for the 1983 season, and determined that Greg Minton was ineligible as a batter (check out the stats!)

Probably close to $10k worth of DVDs that while I've gotten decent use out of, in no way was the purchase justified for like 90% of them.

If only Netflix was around then.
