One of my favorite things to do is drink at concerts/venues – it’s a nice small splurge :)

I wasted money on two beers while watching a concert. $12 a piece just b/c they’re inside a concert venue? Awful. Usually they’re about $5 at a bar.
2. I used a Groupon to join a local sailing club. I had never been in a sailboat before, and now I know how to sail on my own! Best $30 I’ve spent in a while.
3. Three bucks and some change.
4. No. I have nothing to do at my job over the summer, and I’d rather sit here getting paid to do nothing and take time off during the busier times of the year.
5. No, I knew that IPO was too high, so I didn’t buy. I’m not a fan of their business model, so I don’t think I will buy.
**BONUS** I’m a hardcore Democratic activist, so I’d take the opportunity to talk progressive taxation, ending oil subsidies, single-payer healthcare, comprehensive immigration reform, and national funding for education.

It would be AWESOME to see how he answers all those ;) Glad you enjoy these as much as I do!

1. Clothes. I bought a dress at an outlet store. It was originally $90, got it for $60. I’m actually returning it this weekend, so it’s not a total waste.
2. Got a really nice leather purse for $20 at the end of March. I’ve been using it every day and it’s held up well. I’d say that’s a good deal.
3. Nothing in my pocket. $2 in my purse.
4. Since I’m over halfway through my day, I’d take the $100!
5. No and no. Considered it for about 2 minutes when my dad asked me if I was buying it, but then solidified my no.

BONUS: Oh man this would be fun. I’d ask him a ton of “would you rather” questions while drinking White Russians at my favorite bar. And of course, get lots of pics with him.

Upgraded a flight to first class. It wasn’t completely necessary, but I had a bad foot in a boot and had spent the previous day driving 8 hours round trip to get an emergency passport instead of being on my originally booked flight.
2. Scored a new pair of athletic shoes on Amazon today for $49.99. Paid around $80 for an identical pair at a shoe store last November.
3. An emergency $20 in my wallet. I generally don’t carry or pay with cash. I like tracking all of my purchases and find it easier to do with my debit card.
4. I’d leave for the rest of the day for $20…it wouldn’t take much.
5. No and no.

Wasted money on this vending machine…we were out and hungry with no snacks (I’m usually overprepared in that dept) but hey the machine has that popcorn we love and score! it’s the last one…and we put the money in and it did that thing where the bag gets stuck and doesn’t drop so we had to put my last dollar in it to get it out, I know it’s petty and small but it’s that stuff that adds up to big waste, the munchkin thought it was funny tho so maybe I can put it under the “entertainment” budget…

2. Got a deal on gas. My parental unit loves giving gift cards and needed to buy a bunch for all the graduating kids, and just happened to be visiting so I took her to my local grocery store and swiped my rewards card and got the fuel points – $1.69 a gallon… hello!

3. Cash all gone, see answer at #1

4. Now I’m not going to make the same mistake I did reading into the bills/jail question on the billionaire quiz and I’m gonna answer the question as written… SOOOOO yes I would take the day of work cuz I work nights! ;)

5. My family plays the stock market game and all I hear about is how much money they’ve lost and how easy it was to make a profit pre 9-11, and I find it disgusting and wasteful so No and No to any stock

6. Love the bonus question… check this out… I would sit him down at brsexy and have him reply to everyone who posted an answer to number six and totally bump up J$’s site, but not being a total saint I would come up with the best way to make money on fiver.com by maybe selling his voice or a personalized outgoing vm message or autograph or pic for something (I have a green screen in my photog setup) oooo oooo oooo and I’d make him autograph every sporting item I have in my house and donate it to all of my local kids clubs teams so they could auction them off AND I get a tax write off to cover all the extra money I make on fiver…. screw the politics stuff… i’m a hustler baby, i just want you to know…

@Marilyn – I so wish I’d wasted my money on that instead!
@Emmy – I’m so sorry your E.S.B. visit wasn’t the best, but I hope you try again in better weather! we thought the views were worth it. I was in NYC over Patty’s day this year and HATED myself for buying the express pass for me and my sis, thinking it was such a waste of money but we had dinner plans afterward… and then I saw the lines and could not believe that we literally were escorted to the front of every single one. I was expecting a separate sort of VIP line – nope. So IMO esp. if it’s a busy holiday, your time is worth the extra $.
