    Magazines - I don't get a chance to read them because I have 3 demanding children and a dog.

    Newspapers. I get most of my news from the internet. Yet I just think i like the feeling of sitting down with a paper only to find I'm finished it in a couple of minutes.

    Prostitutes. Just not worth it in the end. And the 10s of 1000s I've spent on getting myself f**ked up over the years.

    Bought a few expensive DVDs on mail order and they won't play at all :mad:

    Two ways around that, Purchase a region free DVD player or copy them on to your computer using DVD Shrink and print them out again using Nero or DVD Decrypter. :p

    Cats

    My brother spent e150 on vet fees for an elderly sick cat and it died the next day, vet wouldn't even give him a refund. :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭desertcircus


    Surely the relevant question on inheritance tax is whether you earned the money? It hardly seems fair to tax Person A on the money they were given in return for hard work and not tax Person B on the money they were given for nothing.

    I mind my money. Only spend on things that I think is worth buying so have stopped buying on impulse anymore. Find the credit crunch since the recession so have been tight with money ever since.
