Question 1: What in hindsight is the dumbest thing you ever spent money on?

Question 2: What thing that you spent money on -- and don't regret doing so -- do you think people are most likely to think dumb?

My answers:
1. This is a long list. But I think I'd put at the top the replica "Sword of Charlemagne" I bought from the Franklin Mint for about $350.

2. Probably the $180 meal (my share only) I had at a restaurant in Grand Rapids, MI.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

1. Siding on my last house. Completely not necessary and very costly.

2. Strippers. Those were fun days but some people in our group overdid it.

I've never had a $100+ meal though, Wade. Please describe what that was like. Was it worth it?

1. My ex wife. ;)

2. Walking into Red Wing boots outlet and buying 2 right boots to every single left... the only place yet that I have found that lets me do such a thing.

1. Starting nursing school, paying and attending for 5 months while I pretty much wanted to stop after 5 days.

Buying a guitar is, so far, a good 2nd.

2. NFL Game Pass. No doubt about it. My friends declared me crazy.

Depends on your definition of dumb. I probably spent $500 on Pokemon cards as a kid, I had a fair amount of fun with them but I'm not sure it was worth the money. I'd certainly prefer to have that money now.

After reading Rockmolder's post, remembered my two failed stints through college. I definitely wasn't ready for it and didn't have my life under control at all. Bye bye $8,000

1. i spent $550 on supposedly the best knife on the market, specialized fire-forged stainless steel 17" blade, it was supposed to hold around 200,000 psi. Not so much, me and my buds were knife throwing (not at eachother of course), and dead-on at an oak tree, SNAP! I think i cried that day.

2. best thing to spend on would be my first dirt-bike, $4,000 for a brand new rm 250, sold it for $6,000 after i spent about $500 on it, so i managed to make $1500 in 1 month when i was 13. After that, i have always bought dirtbikes and sold them for more, pretty good business if you know who to steal off of :thumbright:

I have too many answers for number 2. My friends always call them "Lloyd buys" because I come out of stores with some of the most awesome things.

Like the time I bought the remote control operated fart machine for $10. Or the $70 pimp suit I bought the other weekend.

For number 1? I can't say I've ever wasted that much money because I tend not to spend very much. Possibly all the football cards I bought as a kid because they have ZERO value now.

How can you really decide? One man's "junk" is another man's treasure.
I guess what i'm saying is, if it brings YOU joy, then i think it's not stupid.
I'm sure we all have bought things that we look at later and think "what the heck was i thinking?"
I bought a metal detector years ago. I had always wanted one since i was a little kid. So i bought a somewhat "cheap" one. About $200. I WAS gonna buy a more expensive one, but i was afraid it would be a waste. Well, i had a BLAST with it, and traded it in for a better one (plus another $100 or so) and i had a BLAST with it too! I found old coins up to about 8 inches deep in the ground. Found coins from the 1800's. Nothing super valuable, but when you bring a silver coin out of the ground, it shines like it was just dropped yesterday. Just A couple months ago, i sold it as of course you all know we needed money badly. I miss my machine, but made back pretty much what it had cost me. So i guess it can't be really considerd a waste.
