A 2000 Pontiac Grand Am. Loved the car but after a few years, it just nickel and dimed me to death. I sunk so much money into that car. Love/hate relationship for sure.

Man thong...never again.

Mexican food in Albuquerque.

Three starving Yorkie puppies stuck in Nigeria with no food. I believed the hoax, lost $600.00 and tried to give them more money to ship them. Western Union said you idiot, there are no puppies. If you won't quit giving them your money, we will.

Real estate education on how to buy & flip. Big bucks, waste of money, as the model was American based, not Canadian.

Jiffy Pop popcorn for the campfire. Maybe it’s just me, but I think the kernels may have been counterfeit and there just for show, until it became incinerated with everything else....

BMW 750 iL that's a mid life crisis

My old LG V20 phone off of eBay used. I ended up selling it and an ex friend bought me a brand new one to replace the bad one. $460. A free phone for me. He ended up becoming infatuated with me and I now have a restraining order on him from him taking advantage of an at-risk adult. I'm using the phone still.

Beets. I could have just grabbed a bowl of dirt out the garden, added blue & red food coloring & called it a day. Waste of perfectly good salt, pepper & butter. To this day I wouldn't smack a dog in the ass with a plate full of beets (southern colloquialism for "it ain't worth a shyte" ).

Fitbit. $150 bucks, it didn't keep accurate time by 30+ minutes, and it registered steps if you sat in a chair and moved your arm. It did nothing for me.

I bought a brand new custom made manufactured home for $80,000 cash. 5 years later everything broke and I sold it for $22,000. I should have bought the Corvette I wanted.

Signing up to the National Broadband Network in Oz, NBN, is is pretty much compulsory and it is a complete disaster.

I currently live in Thailand with little access to books in English,
Many Kindle books I've bought turned out to be boring after all, and I either stopped reading them, or never read them again.

Having a Kindle reader and simply "borrowing" ebooks from Amazon Kindle could have been better, but here in Thailand, I needed a tablet that could do it all.

Before we knew that my soulmate's back ache was terminal cancer, we impulsively bought a bed that cost as much as a car, in hopes that it would relieve some of his back pain. He's been gone a year now, and this grieving process is the hardest thing I've ever done. I'll be making payments on that bed for years.
