    Taxes. Food. Kids.College tuition/books/activity fees. Cars. Insurance. Like String, we've cut way back on spending a necessity in a big family these days it seems.

    At first I thought I would spend too much money on lots of dumb stuff, but after reading all the lists, I must be a huge cheapskate.
    My cable/internet/phone bill is absurdly high. THat's my biggest waste.
    Followed by my phone
    I suppose you could put beer on the list, but I don't drink very much, and I view money spent on something tasty worth it.
    Not counting tags/licenses, I hardly spend anything on hunting anymore. Haven't bought a new bow in 5 years, I have more than enough camo/clothes/boots.
    I do probably have too many pairs of running shoes(5)

    I don't drink pop, eat junk food, play the lottery, or go out to eat very often.

    I'm with Ryan. My DISH bill and cellphone. I also suppose Sirius XM, but terrestrial radio is TERRIBLE (I can't believe people still listen to it). Other than that, I'm cheap, so it's not a big deal. I'll cut a $2000 check for building materials for a home project without batting an eye, but I'll go back and forth for two weeks on whether I want to spend the $120 for 1 doz GT 7595s (true story).

    Hunting stuff(not a waste)
    Stuff for my truck(not a waste, just bought 4 new General Grabbers, definite upgrade)
    Mountain biking stuff
    Beer
    Hard Liquor
    I spend alot of money on anything outdoors, Cabelas gets alot of my money, but then I really don't see any hobby as a waste of money. Its just what I blow my green on.

    1. Beer
    2. Hunting Stuff
    3. Women

    It used to be beer then cars, but that just got too expensive. I didn't have the funding to keep up with the top guys so it was more frustrating and time consuming than anything. I got to where I would get home from work and go out and work in the garage til WAY past my bedtime...

    They sell them by the half dozen also. Just look at it as saving $60 bucks each time you buy. :tu:

    School clothes for Britney !! She is into fashion and clothes. I am scared to see the damages to my wallet when they get home tonight from shopping all day. :cry: Little Christine is along and is not helping the wallet.

    My wife wastes my money. What I buy I consider needs (Copenhagen and Snickers Bars).
