i think the war in iraq is a big waste of money. i admit that what they did to america was wrong, but i think we need to fix ourselves before we try to fix them. we have homeless people everywhere, and were giving money away on gameshows and the lottery, were wasting money on military weapons when we have hungry and dying children. why spend money on weapons when we could use that for childrens hospitals, and helping the needy?
a 'spending executed' minus 'thought applied' multiplied by 'self centred outcome' and raised to the power of 'impulsive decision making'.

arguably nothing, but more realistically urban 4x4s
Money is just a means of accounting for value in products and services which we exchange. It makes bartering easier, as we can use these notes of promises to exchange what we have for what we want without having to find a person who wants what we have and has what we want.
Therefore, the only way you can waste money is to burn it or to give it away and receive nothing in return. I suppose you could also pay too much for something that has a perceived lower value.
However, the perception of value for money comes from the purchaser. If the buyer is prepared to pay a certain amount of money, and a seller is prepared to accept that amount of money then there is no waste if that is the only transaction.
If there is an exchange of money, where a money broker takes a commission in that exchange, then that surely must be a waste of money. Nobody benefits from the costs of exchanging money in the sense that there is no service or product which is being bought which has any real value.
The costs of exchanging money is a total waste of money.
cigarettes
crack cocaine
bear and cigartes and things that can kill you
Anything that is detrimental to your health.
spending on something thats of no use to anyone, or when you could have done something more important with it.
Putting flowers on graves, who's gonna see them, dead people?
anything that does not get you drunk......
Many things, but very high on the list would be the billions spendt on needless wars which cause so much human misery and loss of life. Wars also often destroy homes, infrastructure, airports, roads, factories. All these structures must at some time be replaces with more expenditure if the country affected is to recover to pre-war levels of prosperity.
when you are somewhat more than knee-deep in it
paying taxes!!
Form an individual's point of view, nothing is. Since you agree to pay a certain price for something, then to you, it's not a waste.
However, it can be a waste in retrospect, or if you later discover that what you paid for is not what you expected when you paid for it. If you allow this type of 'waste of money' feeling, then almost anything could be, anything you changed your mind about, or anything that turned out worse that you expected when you paid for it.
Definitely cigs, They cost a fortune and could end up killing you, it's just not worth it!!
