- allaboutdatiki, on 10/10/2007, -7/+105This list is a complete crock.
Where the hell are my kids on this list? Nowhere to be found.
It's a crock, I tell you! - satx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+82Why aren't "women" on that list?
- Psygnosis, on 10/10/2007, -3/+77Who gets there car professionally detailed every 2 months? I'm lucky if I wash the outside once every 6 months and it's been a year since I vacuumed it.
And why aren't cell phones on that list? - diggdong, on 10/10/2007, -6/+73Coffee is a quality of life purchase.
- donveto, on 10/10/2007, -1/+67This list gave me a great business idea, I am going to open a place that serves coffee, water, manicures with the walls lined up with vending machines. I will accept credit cards and give out memberships. I will not serve booze because I don't want to deal with the drunks.
The moneyt drain will pour in my pocket. - Khook20, on 10/10/2007, -0/+43What about specialty/extra TV channels?
- zwendkos, on 10/10/2007, -6/+42I'm just gonna wake up, drive my dirty car to work, be tired, drink tap water, have terrible nails, eat my bagged bologna sandwich, refrain from buying peanut m&ms, pay for everything with cash, never sign up for any memberships, and be rich!
riiiiight. - fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -5/+29Half of those things are quality of life purchases, the list's just stupid. 10 things you don't need that you drain money on ... why stop there why not just list every little thing we buy ourselves that we don't need and call it a money drain.
What's the point in earning money if you're not going to buy anything you want. - UrbanVoyeur, on 10/10/2007, -1/+251. Kids
2. House
3. Alimony
4. Student Loans - Homunculiheaded, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20What to you think the business model behind convenience stores is? minus manicures that's pretty much what they are. The are essentially large vending machines that serve coffee, water, cigarettes plus lottery tickets.
- bizzydiggin, on 10/10/2007, -4/+24I spend money on a daily basis on 7-10 of those things.
- DaffyDuck, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Personal, easily avoidable money drains.
- esbern1, on 10/10/2007, -7/+22haha you just admitted to getting manicures
- Shogi, on 10/10/2007, -9/+24They forgot World of Warcraft.
- pataylor1965, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I use the aquafina bottled water to wash my car....I guess that's REALLY bad...
- DangerCollie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14You're being sarcastic but speaking more truth than you realize. You can get rich slowly if you live a deficit lifestyle. Continually evaluating your expenses like a corporation. Always operating your personal finances at a profit. Cut a small expense here and there, invest the extra cash. It adds up in a hurry.
- sully213, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I think he meant 7 out of 10, not between 7 and 10 of those. Besides, maybe bizzydiggin is a girl. There are girls on Digg you know?
- TheKillDoctor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14It's a list of things we buy that we "want" and do not "need".
I guess you purchased your kids and now want a refund? - cmiller1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Coffee farts can be near deadly
- patch6, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Brew your own coffee for less than a tenth of what a barista will charge. The recipes and methods are no secret, just mimic them at home and use a thermos.
- Schmidtopolis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I feel the same way about beer and cigarettes.
- p0tent1al, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14The sad thing, is that actually isn't a bad idea.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -11/+22#1- inflation and inflation taxation.
- eggraid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Cell phones! now we're talking. That has to be the biggest money drain used by kids, approved by parents!
- Smiley09, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Multiple high class escorts daily, that is a money drain... says a friend...
- krnldmp, on 10/10/2007, -5/+16#1 Federal Income Tax.
Don't be silly. - satx, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15Or stop drinking so much, moron.
- dylanmat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I really should be able to write off coffee as a work related expense.
- raptordrew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9This list is missing WoW
- MaynardJK, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10You don't need to have kids. They are still a "want".
- Trav1289, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10or could have a wife
- wayne247, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Prostitutes?
- martalli, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8In the spirit of the list, I would have to add World of Warcraft...although the time lost is probably more valuable.
- iffypop, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9digg wont let me get a pay-rise
- diggface5000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8yeah, if you need the snacks why not by a box of a million of them at sams club or costco for like $5 and keep it in your desk.
- opiv421, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8#11 - that world of warcraft account you forgot you were paying for.
- GreyICE, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7If every mainstream economist agrees that a mild level of inflation is a natural and healthy part of the economy, doesn't that put you in the category of the creationists and the global warming deniers?
- p0tent1al, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Just because you enjoy it, doesn't mean it isn't a money drain.
ESPECIALLY the vending machine snacks, which is usually 1 candy bar that cost almost as much as the box that it came in. - hove, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8There are 365 days in a year.
- DoMifer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6$85? A tad on the pricey side... but there's no substitute for quality...
- GreyICE, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Alcohol at a bar is an absurd expense. Drink at home with friends, not at a bar.
- tonton2012, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I love how you crack addicts try and justify your addictions.
- totorototoro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Without coffee every morning, I wouldn't have any money to drain.
- Kelgann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6And weed.
- inhaler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6What about the time wasted when you could be working/not arriving late to work, or that twelve pack of coke you slam during a raid three nights a week? Did I mention microwavable food because you don't have enough time to make yourself dinner...
*cough* retired dr00d *cough* - Aokami, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5It is a little known fact that women do not require money to operate. If yours is milking you dry you have a problem on your hands. I can't imagine being in a relationship and not feeling guilty about draining my guy's bank account. Gifts every once in a while are okay but too many women see boyfriends as free money.. it's sad.
- AdamFromMyspace, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5get a new one.
- deadlyrice, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5slickdeals.net is my money drain :( isn't it weird that i spend MORE money because of a website that is suppose to help you find cheap deals?
- gotamd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5In addition to cell phones, I'd add cable TV. I never plan on having cable TV (or satellite, or FiOS) of any kind. I can get all the programming I need over the air. Standard cable TV service in my area costs *at least* $60/month when all is said and done. That's already $720/year. I can get HD over the airwaves too. To get HD cable service, I'd have to pay at least $80/month: $960/year. That's not even including any kinds of "premium" channels or services. I'd also add landline phones and extra cell phone junk you don't need.
- gjscds, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6How the hell does inflation make the rich richer? Put the liberal play book down and think for a second.
