Most pointless things you spend money on?

Oranage2

I'm a modest man that lives modestly but for some reason I buy 2 cups of coffee a day - it works out at €5.30 a day which is crazy -gonna invest in a good flask and some nice coffee in the future now on.

How about you! do you buy crazy things that are pointless

If it was pointless i'm sure I'd be smart enough not to spend my money on it..

I spend all of my money on my car, gf and..no, that's about it.
Never pointless though!

Please continue buying coffee as you are, we need the tax money from it! plus you will be keeping people in jobs. The same goes for the rest of you lot- spend spend spend! Do you're bit for the country.

and gambling

I never spend my money on pointless things. Only things that others erroneously consider pointless.

Wagon

that bloody lapdance last night. seemed like a good idea at first but in retrospect, it was about as much use as a nuns tits. all you do is pay for sexual frustration. and i can get that for free!!

johngalway

Motor tax, roads are sh1t.

Petrol, income tax, VAT & accountant fees, most of the petrol money goes to the Government, all of the Income tax & VAT money goes to them, and I need to pay the accountant to get the right amount to them. All of it wasted by them. I'd rather waste it myself thank you.

Booze also, but I'm going to start home brewing

Food, need to grow more of it myself.

desertcircus

Books. I read them in two or three hours and then wonder why I spent a tenner on them.

Smokes and hats.
I keep buying hats..I can't stop.

So you can feel good when you offload them onto me because I am poor and can't afford to buy new books.

Or you could just get kicked out of nightclubs and shout " I do believe I had a hat"??
