Things you have completely wasted money on

Having bought a 4 birth inflatable tent, I'd recommend poles.

Quicker to assemble, take down. More compact.

Course, could be my amateurism but if I ever get another, it's poles. Or a B&B šŸ˜¬

Last time I went camping, my mate had a three man inflatable and I had a traditional two man tent.

I put mine up, laid all my gear inside and spent another ten minutes helping put his up !

Admittedly his was pretty cool inside once it was up, but I`d have hated to have to put it up when the weather was bad or windy.
 

Just got rid of a boat i put far too much into for what I got out. Spent 3 years on it, Ā£2000 to buy, mooring fees Ā£1500 and about Ā£500 in timber/solar panels/paint etc. Went out 4 times in it for about an hour each time.
Gave it to a mate for nowt in April to take on the fees as I couldn't be doing with another Ā£500 to renew for the year, as long as I can use it if I ever get the urge.... which I haven't hence why I got rid. Sigh. Can now see where Boat got its name from, Break Out Another Thousand.

By whom and how were you talked into it in the first place?

Also the saying that the two happiest days you have as a boat owner are the day you buy the boat, and the day you sell it.

Yup - what Musk has vealed about himself was rhe final straw. Distancing myself from Musk was the reason I snapped and took the loss. Maybe others can't afford to so the same so we shouldn't really judge them. The tesla community is full of deluded fan boys though who get rs style angry the moment you mention a fault in the car's design - which i did on many, many occasions!!
