How much cash have you wasted
The other day I was at Mcdonalds and ordered a double quarter pounder meal. I soon realized that I would have much prefered two double cheese burgers, so I wasted $3. I then began to think of all the times I've ordered more food than I needed, bought 1-5 more drinks at the bar than I could really enjoy, the classical guitar book I thought I would study, the Pantera WhiteZombie concert I went to even though I didn't like either band, ridiculously large drunken tips I've given out, the 50 books I've bought and haven't read, all the cigs that I've smoked for years before I quit, ect.
I bet I've wasted 20-30K over the course of my life. How much do you OOTiots estimate you've wasted?

Re: How much cash have you wasted
a lot. before i started playing poker (and started seriously winning) i never had a real job other than the typical teenager stuff. poker has just brought my finances and attitude towards money to a disgusting level for where i am in life. before poker the idea of holding two thousand dollars in my hand was just [censored] insane. not too long ago i would walk into card clubs and see some guy with a stack of green chips and say "wait, those are worth 25$ each?!? are you kidding? no way man, no way does he have a thousand dollars there". now if i see a game where people only have one stack of green chips i think "this is it, dont they have a real game going?"
ive wasted money on ipods, computer mice, cabs everywhere when i used to take the train, eating out more, running up bar tabs, the same stuff as most of you. lose your amtrak ticket? try for 10 seconds to get a free replacement, plonk down a hundy. no biggie. 60$ for a polo shirt? no sweat, it will go well with my 150$ jeans. my whole concept of what is a lot of money is totally [censored]. if something is under 100$ i dont even comprehend shopping around for a better deal. i cant even tell whether its a lot of money anymore. today i found 400$ in my pants in 20s that i didnt know about, i didnt even notice it had gone missing. a lot has changed. a year ago if i had 100$ in my wallet i would think "bitch am i loaded or what!". ive probably wasted about 1-2K, but i have not had real income for long and i have many years ahead of me.
