I'm opposed to this “wasting money” terminology.
If an individual wants to exchange the money for the activity, goods or services-then it’s not a waste.
And since value is subjective, the premise of waste is only a third party observation
Since money is a tool, and can be used to attain happiness-however fleeting; I’d rather enjoy a wife who spent it, beats one who seeks to impose her pointless frugality on me
Because you only live once, and as the song says
I may be going to **** in a bucket
But at least I’m enjoying the ride😁
