    This thought crossed my mind as I wasted $2 on a powerball ticket on my lunch hour ;). I spend far too much on crap.

    Dish Network- I pay over a $100 a month and seldom watch anything except baseball and hunting shows.

    Hunting- It's my only hobby and I spend way too much on it. I probably don't want to know how much.

    Soda- I can't stop at a gas station with out buying a drink. It's an addiction.

    I'm sure there are many other things I waste money on, but I don't want to get too depressed. It's almost quitting time.

    I really only spend my money on hunting (I'm 15) but like Oly said I really don't see that as a waste.

    We have cut way back on waste lately. Haven't had fast food in months, only ate out a couple times for special events in a couple months, been cooking everything at home and quit spending on the little $2 here and there. I think it's working.

    What I do spend on is hunting stuff here and there an that's been more there than here lately.

    I could understand food, but how could you possibly consider money spent on beer wasted????

    Hunting supplies!! The popular comment at my house is, "Honey, another tree stand? Really? How many do you need?" I reply, that many hahaha.

    Food is such a waste of money you just flush it down the toilet when you're done with it. Hunting is not a waste of money it's what we enjoy so it can't be a waste

    My biggest was cigarettes but I quit this past Saturday! I'm also making food for each day rather than wasting it on going out to eat.
