@Bex: That post makes me incredibly sad considering I buy and thoroughly enjoy a lot of those things. :(
'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?
I concur. I had a semi long post typed up yesterday about how nothing is stupid as long as it's something you wanted at the time, but then i ctrl+a'd and deleted it all and then posted what I did

Beer and snacks at professional sports games. $9 per beer? $7 for a slice of pizza? No thanks.

How often do you go to those events?

16 bucks is a drop in the bucket if it's once a year.

But if you own a season pass then ya

I think a lot of people have misinterpreted my list a bit but then I should have probably actually fleshed it out with more explanation... sowwy.

I use a few of those things I listed too. I drink alcohol, I use wrapping paper on presents and stuff. But I was just writing a list of stuff that when you really think about it, they can be seen as pointless wastes of money, or at least cash drains. I'm not saying people can't enjoy doing that stuff, I'm just coming from the angle that in a lot of those cases you can find alternatives that don't require you to spend extortionate amounts. Like, you could by a second hand car and save yourself a lot of money, you could have a wedding dress that is just as beautiful without spending tens of thousands of pounds/dollars. Some people do spend stupid money on the things I listed and they are more often than not, not value for money.

Some of it is also relative to quantity and the way it's used. You can enjoy gambling if say, you put a bet on the Grand National once a year, but it's really stupid if you're one of those old ladies in Vegas who sit at the slot machines all day gambling your life savings away. You can enjoy alcohol with friends and have a good time, but then you can take things too far and become an alcoholic or get sick from drinking too much.

I just interpreted the word 'stupid' differently.
