Someone Asks “What’s The Biggest Waste Of Money?” And 30 People Don’t Hold Back

who did come up with the saying that this is supposed to be the "happiest day of your life" anyway? I can think of a dozen other days immediately which are far more life-changing. Come to think of it, does anything really change when you get married? Your daily life just goes on as it did before.

People who are really rich don't dress like it. Designer clothes usually aren't the best quality anyway.

Just give to the needy yourself. I feel like they donate more because of the religion and less because they actually care.

What is it good for... raising the profits of the war industry. Thus raising the wealth of a few individuals. What is it bad for .... I don't have enough time to answer this question.

$50 AUD

I'm not in accord with this. I have plenty to say against my late priest as he didn't have time for his seminarists, but he always donated everything he could to the poors. Everyone who need something and went to his door got whatever he had, to the point that the local Charitas had a discussion with him because often he was tricked by conmen. The same Charitas help a lot of people, often people that didn't want any help to maintain the appearance, so they are helped in secret. A falling tree makes more noise than an entire growing forest

How about that time people donated to Kylie Jenner so she could be the youngest ever (“self-made” 😂) billionaire?

My husband and I fairly often bet. But only with each other, and only with kisses. One of us wins, but the other doesn't lose. :o)

In the US, before Citizens United made corporations people and allowed them free reign to donate everywhere, it did matter where people donated their money. There have been some amazing grassroots campaigns funded mostly by actual citizens.

Cheap tools are a great way to get hurt

Aussie here. Bring on a republic. Monarchies are outdated and irrelevant

But... But... Sparkly!

For only 8 USD you can affect the stock market with fake tweets. I think it's absolutely horrible but that seems like an extremely cheap way to advance your supervillain career.

It is fake money and only has value so long as people believe in it. It has become a way to scam people out of money. Incidentally values have dropped from about $3 trillion to about $1 trillion. So someone other than investors is getting rich. Also does not have the regulations of stocks.

Really how dumb

My ex was into astrology, it Taurus apart.

Read mine this morning, and it said: Why are you reading this when you know it's utter bollocks?

I have a stinging rebuttal, but I'll refrain. Scorpio here.

It's a hobby I enjoy, but I don't really spend $$$ on it.

That is different to astronomy?

Sag here, totally agree. But it's in our nature to be iconoclastic.

so many things wrong with astrology. Let big rocks in space do their thing. they don't control your life. They don't give a cr*p about what is happening on earth.

if you pay for a reading, yes. If you pay for books, yes. If you read it online.. not really - then it's just silly.

I think constellations are beautiful, and I draw them on my arms sometimes. But SOME PEOPLE are like “Omg! You’re a ____? I knew it! You totally act like it!”

And some banks charge an extra $5-$10 everyday your account is in the negative. This is why I switched to a credit union. The overdraft for mine is $12, but they won't let you get into the negative to begin with and sometimes they'll forgive the overdraft.

You have the option to spend time to get the food yourself, or spend money to have someone else get it for you. So it depends on whether you value your time more or less than your money

For a couple bucks you can daydream about what you would do if you won the lottery. It is cheap hope you can get occasionally.

As an italian no starbucks for me. To be fair I thought it ended like Domino, opened here and closed in 6 months.

Some people struggle with body image and feel like they need to, and while it is a waste of money, you can't really get mad at them.

An entire gold leaf (8x8cm or 10x10cm) costs around 1 euro/1 dollar. The small part used to decorate a cake, a pastry or whatever in a dish costs only a few cents. You are definitely not paying for the gold added. And stop with the b******t about nutrition, it’s purely a cheap (yes cheap) decoration, it’s not about feeding you. Then if you’re stupid enough to buy a $2000 pizza you’re a moron, it’s not about the gold leaf.

After getting an iPod back in 2006 I decided I'd never spend a buck on anything made by Apple. No Android device has ever failed me.

Ugh. I feel for this recently. And am not proud to admit it. A stupid mobile game no less. But the chests were so tempting. And it made my character stronger. Sigh.... I spent about 200$... :( lol

Go to anywhere in central America, most anywhere in SE Asia, Flint Michigan.....drink the water from the faucet and then come back the next day (as your guts bubble and you struggle not to shít yourself) and mention how useless bottled water is.

Bad for the planet too - all those pods in the landfills

Traumatize and terrify your pets, the war veterans in your community, and all the wildlife nearby for just $50/second!!!

A friend of mine paid on Tinder to see who liked him. That's how he met his now wife.

I don't get this. Just pay your staff a decent living wage.

Yeah, it's stupid to pay interest if you have the cash to pay the whole bill at once. But a business charging someone a monthly fee for using money that isn't theirs is pretty legit. And if you can't repay what you borrowed...you shouldn't have borrowed money in the first place.

Sorry but I love my lippies. I don't do it for anyone else but me because it makes me feel good. Also I do like dressing up and expensive can be relative when you're looking for something that fits and is gonna last. I definitely can't imagine spending thousands on shoes but the difference between shoes that last 10 years and those that last under 2 is often a hundred bucks.

Pay all abuse settlements from the police pension funds - you will quickly see the abuses stop. But their unions are more corrupt than the worst mafiosa.

Isn’t that the point of this whole article? Kind of a cop-out.

A lot of nursing majors were pissed they had to take an "unnecessary" Native American history and culture class at my college. The largest minority population in my state is Native people. They will literally be working with and treating them. College students are not always great at being aware of what classes will be useful. Although I do kind of agree with finite math. If it's not a prerequisite for other math classes students need it really makes more sense to have practical math. Like stuff related to calculating home and auto loans, banking, budget, retirement stuff or whatever.

And the trend for fake grass is revolting in my opinion

Problem here is subscription. Used to be when you bought a car, you bought a car.

technically correct, but i think it's worth it just to see the expression on the recipient's face when they unwrap the gift. sometimes joy, sometimes disappointment... still worth it :D

You're paying for a lack of pesticides and other sprays which may (or may not) damage your health

you can always live in a box. were the people who came up with this list on drugs? Not everyone can afford a house and rent is the only option in that case

How will I feel like a viking if I don't drink my mead?

This needs to specify whether it's the super expensive fancy/collectible shoes or just shoes in general... coz the latter are kind of essential in most scenarios

are you insane? NO. Insurance is what I buy before food. If you crash your car, or your laptop is stolen, you are ROYALLY SCREWED without insurance. You won't be able to get to work in many countries, nor would you be able to do your work (if a knowledge-worker). So No. Absolutely you need it. In many countries you have mediocre healthcare offerings (I'm not talking about UK/EU). Meaning health insurance helps you get access to a better quality. Same for life insurance. If you have a family to support and no pension fund, you better have life insurance so that if you die, your family is not left destitute. This post is extremely irresponsible.

This sounds like someone who only ever went on an organised tour once in their life and thinks that all tourism is the same. Unfortunately, to get to most places, you do need to be stuck in an aluminium tube of farts for a few hours. But once you reach your destination there are so many things you can do to discover another country/city/etc while staying away from the crowds
