Stylish shoes with inadequate support. Spend enough to get both style and support, or choose different styles.

Back orchestra seats with obstructed view to live theatre. You’ll enjoy the show more from the balcony than trying to peer around the obstruction, so save a few dollars. And, when you can afford better seats, they are worth every penny you spend.

I occasionally hear that I spend too much on shoes and theatre, since that means I can’t eat at high end restaurants weekly. But I don’t value those high end restaurants as much as I do pain-free feet and legs or a really good show.

Tanning. Like cigarettes and alcohol, dangerous and with only a quick rush. However, I’ve always believed that if you can drink alcohol in modest amounts, there’s not much harm. If you live a completely abstemious life, you may end up living much longer than you expected and not necessarily with all your faculties. I know someone like that.

Dining out, although the experience may make it occasionally worth it.

People spend too much money on things that provide only brief satisfaction.
