I still regret it.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY Nintendo 3DS CRACKED To be fair, any game system is worthless when you leave it at friggin' Krogers: A 3DS, brand-new, in the box, that I forgot in my grocery cart. $300 down the drain.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY A piece of pop culture history 1 MALLIATS by Kevin 8 Smith Superhero Anatomy! Telling! Topless Fortune Rashing!

TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY Fashion CRACKED They say you should dress for the job you want.

TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY A grave plot GRACKED Harjap K. says it's important to invest in yourself sometimes: A grave plot for myself. It will be the most I've spent on a single thing once it's fully paid.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY Children CRACKED Nicole W. says kids aren't exactly a sound investment: I gave birth to 3 children and had to raise them until they each turned 18. Super expensive. They kept asking for food and things like shelter and clothes.

TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY A custom t-shirt and a carnival prize WINNER EVERY TIME GRACKED Rick C. was twice duped by carnies: I did one of those DIY T-shirts in a shop...that wound up costing me $125. Another time, I tired my hand at one of the games where you get 3 balls for $5 to land a softball in a basket...220 and lots of frustration later, the guy says, 'dude, just take the poster.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY Engagement ring L V A GRACKED Eric C. spent 2 months salaray for a resounding... shrug: Worst thing you can hear after a proposal is, 'uh...I guess so.' Resale for that kind of jewelry is impossible.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY Another engagement ring GRACKED On second thought, Tony F. found a worse reaction to a proposal: Came home early one day after work. Caught her in bed with someone else. Told them don't stop on my presence. Took the ring back. And my apartment.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY Geeky media MARVEL STAR GROUP WARS CRACKED Ryan H. has come to regret his mountains of DVDs, tapes, games, books, comics, memorabilia, all the usual nerd sh*. Used to be really proud of it too. Then, one day about 2 years ago, I suddenly realized I no longer had any emotional attachment to *any* of it. I still love all those things, I just suddenly no longer need to *possess* them.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY A car ZV-5225 CRACKED Theresa T. says she bought a total piece of sh*, caused me SO much trouble. Then Mother Nature stepped in to save the day: Thankfully a deer came along, totalled it, and insurance paid the rest off. Life, uh, finds a way?

TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY A condo CRACKED Mark Twain once said Buy land, they aren't making it anymore. But Pat F. says the same logic doesn't quite extend to condos and mortgages: I bought a condo in 2007. 6 months later the housing market collapsed and I was $100k upside down on my morgage.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY Health care and cars CRACKED Jason Q. makes a great case for lying to doctors and, uh, grand theft auto: The two minutes in which you lose the most money in America are the one in which you drive a new car off the dealer lot, and the one when you tell your name to someone in a hospital emergency room.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY A sword GRACKED And not even a sick anime sword. KR spent $600 on an official Marine Corps sword that they never used or wore. Worst of all, it's purely decorative, so I cant even use it if everything goes all Mad Max. Could've bought a knock off for like 80 bucks and had 500 bucks for beer.
TELL US NOW: BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY Cigarettes CRACKED Russell W. could have bought, like, one entire semester of college if he'd never started smoking: Cigarettes for 45 years. Conservatively have spent close to, if not over $50,000 in today's money.
