How do you waste your money?

The biggest thing I wasted money with once was with laziness. I didnt return the books from the library for such a long time, just couldn't be bothered, that I had to pay over 40 euros for nothing.
I don't think I waste money so much. Since Turkey I have grown more conscious about how things in life are not to be taken for granted to much, so I try to put money aside and work for what I want to come true.
Then there's the question.. what's wasting money? I used to get angry when my mum tried to make me eat my food by saying 'The children in Africa have nothing, think about that!' Now I know it was about appreciation and waste, but then I wondered how my empty plate was gonna help a poor kid.
As long as I appreciate what I have and can obtain, I wont feel an occasionally ordered bacon and cheese toasty in the İrish pub as a waste of money just because I could have made that at home too.

I guess as long as you know where your money is going and your ok with it, it's not wasted.
Honestly, I had to write down everything I spent my money on before I could tell you where it went. Then I was horrified when I realized where it was going.
I personally don't cook too much, so I'm constantely eating out all the time. I don't bring my lunch to work either, too lazy to fix it at home.
My mother also use to make us eat everything off of our plate, before we were excused. The same thing "What about all the kids who are starving". Ironically enough I adopted this into my adult hood. So when my mother says, your starting to gain weight. I just tend to blame her for instilling this in me.

Lots of bellydance costumes! They are not wasted because I dance professionally and they paid for themselves. But could that money go for other things? Yes probably.
