The lottery or gambling in general. My parents have spent loads on the lottery and they haven't won much at all. Gambling is something my parents have never done as I know of, however, I have heard of gambling leading to some serious trouble.

In my opinion, people pay f***ing stupid cash on shoes. For real, I know a guy who literally has a room full of shoes including brands such as Nike, Jordan, Adidas, etc. And the thing is, a lot of them don't even wear it, they just have them so people can look at them. I guess it's ok if you truly have enough money to buy all of that (though if it were me I'd do something that wasn't entirely selfish, like hand some over to charity), but if you complain about how much money you have to pay to be able to live, maybe it's time to cut down on the shoes a bit.

Fast Food.

Unhealthy, often tastes like s***, overpriced.

And yet . . . people still go out and keep buying it. That was a good one, definitely one of the dumbest things people spend money on.

Virtual items (including DLC)/collectables

Drugs (including cigarettes and alcohol)

Gambling

Electronic gadgets such as iWatches and Google Glasses - these get made to show what technology can do but are never actually used in every day life. I'd also include over-sized phones like the big iPhone 6.

Designer clothing.

Art - probably the biggest rip off of them all.

Buying a brand new car - the value decreases by a huge amount as soon as you drive it off the forecourt.

Overly extravagant weddings (including stag/hen nights) - yes there's a certain amount you need to spend to have the day you want, but most people go overboard and spend thousands just on wedding dresses alone. Lots of people have also started having more than one stag/hen night and most involve flying for a couple days somewhere for no real reason.

'Vitamins' - most of them are fake. Just eat properly.

Wrapping paper - It just gets torn straight off and thrown away.

(This one is controversial but...) most Charitable donations end up being spent on overheads rather than being given to the people that really need them. In that way they can be considered wastes of money even though the intentions are good.

'Waste of money' is relative to each person. I spend money on a lot of those things too and I don't consider it a waste of money. If I drop some cash on some alcohol and then have a few drinks with friends and enjoy myself, is that really wasted money?

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

Yeah, I enjoy many things on that list. Personal preference decides what is and is not a waste.

How has nobody mentioned jewelry yet? I feel like an idiot for forgetting it in my first post. It's the most vain s*** you can spend your money on.

I don't think that anyone is really spending their money on something "stupid" if they enjoy it. I lot of people think my action figure collection is stupid, but I enjoy collecting, and it makes me happy.

The only truly "stupid" thing that a person could spend their money on is super expensive, hardcore drugs like heroine, crystal meth, etc. There are no positive effects. Drugs don't make you happy. They only lead to more pain and sadness. That and gambling if done in excess.

Certain DLC's are large/great enough to be their money's worth. In-game currency however is indeed idiotic

Depends. softdrugs and alcohol are enjoyable in certain amounts. Drugs and Alcohol are stupid when done in large amounts, and harddrugs in any amount

(Expensive) Art is stupid. Cheaper art can be a good way to spend money.

Depends on how much you drive/enjoy cars.

Wrapping paper is super cheap though, and you do get certain excitement out of it. Everybody loves opening wrapping paper, and when presents are wrapped up under a Christmas tree it builds up excitement

First thing that comes to mind is probably cigarettes

Smoking, drinking, doing drugs. It all damages your body, and people still do it.
