For girls: 1. Hair 2. Make-up 3. Nails 4. Full-priced clothing/excess clothing 5. Memberships would fit well here I think

I know some girls would argue with me, but I find it true… I forego most of the aforementioned expenses to spend on one thing that, surprisingly, didn’t make this list — cars. (And I manage to still live life as a girl… Odd to some.)

Personally I believe females are better with a dollar than males are however, that said, there are men who are way better with a dollar than some females. However, females have many items that are necessary to spend on that males can easily get out of. Woman spend money on beauty items. Males need a shaver and they are pretty well set. Females spend money on children. Men seem to be of the belief that if they offer to watch their own child they are doing a massive favor to society so the dollars they tend to spend on the child are normally also way less, that said until the child goes to college then Daddy is the local ATM so this quickly offsets the dollars we woman spend on them when they are young. Men do seem to spend more on us woman and being spontaneous, but woman would we have it any other way. So all this wrapped up with a pretty bow on it for the holiday what do you have (the over all answer is we both waste too much money but ladies if we do manage to save some realize it is only because some male in your life likely gave you something at no cost (albiet Dad or Hubby out of the kindness of their heart) (that said there are some of us who have worked hard for everythihg we have and no one has ever given us anything. (we are the males and females that are the ones who are best with a dollar.

Sports, eating, and drinking alcohol. The big three.

How I can relate to those!

There are many female posts on the subject of what women spend extra money on. Just go Google some and link your favorite.

I don’t know if I’d consider it a waste, though. For some girls, like me, it’s not about attracting other people, which might indeed be a waste of money. I just like to look pretty for myself.

I readily admit to buying new technology as well. I’m typing this on my Mac and I got a new iPod for Christmas.

I have to say, though, that I’ve never had to buy my own drink, so that expenditure is probably not as high for girls as it is for guys. Eating out, memberships, and sporting events are not big expense categories for me either.

Hey All!

I’m not suggesting that you stop doing what you enjoy because what’s the point of life if you can’t have some fun? I just wanted to have some fun and examine some of the ways we all spend our money.

@Peter Free hockey tickets? Good luck getting anywhere close for a Toronto Maple Leafs game unless you’re willing to spend a fortune.

I think you could also make a pretty easy case for ladies spending/wasting more. Don’t forget the cost of all the make-up, clothes worn once, hair dying/cuts…

Many people just waste money.

Thankfully I’ve all but quit drinking, so that one isn’t an issue for me. For me? Sporting events and technology. In fact I’m going to a Minnesota Wild Hockey game on Saturday – and I can’t wait! this time, however, it was free. Free tickets from my next door neighbor. usually, it ends up being $100-200 just for one twins/vikings/wild game. Steep!
