I used to think you weren't a douche bag. I was incorrect.

Why the fuck do people have such strong brand alliances? It's incredibly douchey.

Anything fun or entertaining. Money should be held onto at all costs. It's intrinsic value vastly surpasses that of any commodity not essential for survival.

You're still the only New Zealander that I can stand on this forum. You should be the Margrave of New Zealand.

Fail. Money has no intrinsic value (except for the material it's made of).

Men buying Volkswagens. It's impossible for a man to not look like a twat while driving one.

But it's not like you're biased or anything, right?

I thought the op was asking my opinion. Is it possible to have non-biased opinions? 🙄

 

[alfa147x]

Oh add the Air Force to my list. We as a nation spend way too much money in them.

so then this question is moot?

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

No. Money has derived value (I don't know if that's the correct term, I just made it up) but not intrinsic value (unless it's made of precious metal or something). Certainly it still has value. I'm just being a nitpicky asshole.

somebody has to, otherwise it wouldn't exist.

Exactly.

 

[Rubycon]

The guys with $1000/mo power bills from a room full of computers "folding".

 

[Zedtom]

Donations to political parties, campaigns or politicians.

It only encourages them.

The biggest waste of money I've got is when I buy lunch or sodas at work instead of bringing my own.

Here's my top ten, in no particular order.

1. High Rise Condo Apartments - Seriously, you're paying $200k+ for long term use of floor space. What do you actually own? Buy a house or rent instead.

2. Lottery tickets - self explanitory. Odds of winning 1 in 13 million, or something like that.

3. Diamonds - Some people are saying diamond jewlery is overvalued. Now that they can basically create them in labs, I believe them.

4. Premium Gas - Chances are your car doesn't need it.

5. Snow Tires - I've driven up hills covered in ice with all-seasons. Unless you like in a place where roads don't get plowed, you probably don't need them.

6. Vague Charities - I know the cancer society earmarks money for cancer research. I don't know what exactly WWF does. Activism? Not helping animals. No thanks. Why would I give you money?

7. HDMI Cables - If you pay more than $10 for a standard 6ft HDMI cable, you're an idiot.

8. Extended Warranties - Useless 99% of the time.

9. The Government - I still don't know what they do with it besides hire more civil servants at rediculous wages.

10. Interest - someone else said it above. Don't get yourself into debt.

alcohol
tobacco
controlled dangerous substances
pornographic material
prostitutes
foodstuff derived from whale meat or shark fin
television

This is a good list. Minus TV, love my TV/Entertainment 😀.

I would add alcohol to the list, waste of money imo.
