Biggest wastes of money

[RRhighrider]

THATS SMALL?!?!? Fuck dude.

I mean, im not the type of person who needs all the fixings. But I can appreciate a nice wedding and what it symbolizes/celebrates. But holy crap! For that much money?!?

Ya it's crazy

Yeah my sister and her fiance are spending like $25-30k for the ceremony and then the afterparty and stuff. Its damn crazy

I would say that is the range for most wedding, I have two brothers and each of our wedding cost between 20-30K. Some people go crazy, I just got back from my cousin's wedding in Delaware and they spent over 100K.

It is crazy. But if you are going to have 100 to 200 people eating your food and drinking your booze, it doesn't matter if it's under an overpass you are going to drop major coin.

both times because no one loves me

I don't love you, but I'm sure someone does, maybe Harriet?

biggest wastes of money are tobacco products such as cigarettes or dip, it just quit dipping but that short buzz from a cig or a dip can cause long term health problems i would hate to see a good friend have

Especially if you're from New York where the average pack costs over $12

i'm confused, aren't you like 16 years old? I can understand smoking a few cigs or whatever but why the fuck would you chew when you're a teenager?

I did it as a stress reliever but I didn't do it constantly as I said in my post I quit and cigs are just plain nasty

we have differing opinions on tobacco products, I always thought constantly having to spit was one of the scummiest things on the planet. good job on quitting though

The wedding thing is the biggest joke around, and the amount is all relative. We had ours at the ranch. The biggest expense was the food and drink. A friends band played the reception and payment was all the beer they could drink. We had roughly 80 people and only served Beer and wine. The property was ours and the cost still climbed to around 15k. Was it worth it? That's relative I guess, I got to marry my best friend, had friends and family in from all over the country and partied our asses off. Piece of advice... its the flower that will get you. They are fucking expensive. And will soon die..... Like all your dreams and aspirations.....

Minimal flowers.. lots of cheap beer. Got it.

Weddings.

10k for you to walk 50 feet in a dress and your friends to eat good food and get drunk. Let's just wear leggings, eat ramen and do meth or something.

10k would be a very small inexpensive wedding but I agree. It always burns me to think about the money I could have saved and put towards a down payment on a house.

You don't have to pay that much. Most of my friends have had a roughly $5000 budget and easily pulled it off (and they've been beautiful).

Also, to be fair, most of them don't drink and haven't had alcohol at their wedding, so that takes a big chunk out.

At the end of the day, it's about celebrating your relationship and ha gong out with friends. If you need to spend money to do that, I guess that's your choice, but it doesn't have to be ridiculous.

True, it's basically just having a big party, might as well make it comfortable for everybody.

If I ever get married, I could see doing the legal stuff at the courthouse, Justice of the Peace and everything. Then go have a nice day on the beach with a bonfire and camping with good friends and good food as the actual wedding party part. Seems like it would be more fun for the guests, less stuffy but to each their own I guess.

Id say growing up more of the guys i knew chewed over smoking. Probably depends on the area though

i'm assuming that you're correct about this

In my area it kind of became the hockey/lacrosse trend, i haven't noticed it as much though. Probably just a fad

Trying to keep a shitty car alive is a pretty good way to burn money without realizing. My Dad doesn't want to buy a new truck but he'll keep pouring money into the one he has that'll blow a gasket or something twice a week. I get it if it's a classic car or something you're attached to, but my Dad doesn't give a shit about this truck. He's afraid to drop ~15K for something decent but I'm pretty sure the repairs have totaled over that already

Thats the same way my dad was with one of my old dirt bikes. He didn't want to pay that much for a bike, so instead we spent thousands on re-doing the shitty motor that blew up 3 times on me. It would've been a hella lot more cost effective to just get a newer more reliable bike

I'd say it's having good friends

Good friends match up and don't smoke your weed without pitching in

Though it still may come in handy some day, car and home owners insurance are my biggest wastes of money

Been paying car insurance for 10 years, home insurance for 6, and still haven't even called a tow
