When DH and I were kids we got scammed at a cranival for about $300 which was a ton of money to us at the time.

Did you know each other when you were kids or did you figure this out later in life?

I can't even begin to add up the $ I spent on clothing and shoes that I never wore.

Thousands!

well, at least I donated some to charity.

Me too..in fact it's donation time again..gotta clean out the closet

I GUESS my treadmill BUT I am going to get back on it THIS Week, and not make it a waste of $500.00

---

YES! Me too!

I was doing well but my treadmil is in a room with No AC, so the weather has been a problem. I almsot passed out last time I was on it

I'm sure there are bigger things if I thought about it, but here are the two most recent wastes of money.

My friends bachlorette party

I was kinda broke at the time, and all 10 of us had to kick in $250. That would've been that bad, but all we did was go to a sleazy male strip club. I HATE MALE STRIPPERS!!!! I spent the whole night avoiding them. It was gross and a waste of $$. I wish we would've done something fun for that kind of cash.

Motley Crue Concert

This wouldn't have been that bad, but it was another very broke time and I had to shell out $150 so we could get a limo and stuff. It was OK, but $150 to see Motley Crue!! I don't think I would've paid that in the 80's when I actually liked them!! But I promised my friend months before that I would go.

lets see-

2 weeks ago i got a rash on my trip to chicago. i get home, fh gets the rash.
i CONVINCE myself (after searching on the internet) that i MUST have brought bugs back from chicago hotel (#2 hotel there mind you)

no, like an idiot i dont go to the doctor
so i spent $175 on an exterminator. then i decided he wasnt thorough enough (after reading more internet) so i hire one for $750!
every night i sleep on the couch with the lights on so i dont get bitten by the 'bugs'.

then i spend $200 drycleaning all my down bedding and jeans. and spend countless hours washing all my beautiful clothes in hot water to kill the 'bugs'

(mind you I only saw one bug and i decided, you guessed it- from the INTERNET- that this was a bedbug)

well, long story short, the week before my trip fh was cutting all sorts of crazy bushes in our yard.

doctor tells us its poison ivy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ansd that it takes a week to come out and that i must have handled his clothes or something and that it spread to me.


so i wasted over $1000 on NOTHING

DH and I have been together for ten years, so we were at the carnival together. I think he was 18 at the time and I was 17.

MY 2002 Jaguar X-type lease for 3.5 years. I'd never lease again and the car was a piece of !@#$. It was at the dealer over 20 times for repairs.
Over $15,000 in lease payments
