All I see are $$ being frittered away. It is his money and he can do what he wants but then he complains about spending too much as well.

I wonder if we have the same friend! So much of his conversation is about what he's bought or what he's going to buy. It gets tiresome listening to him after awhile.
I concur with many of the posters...don't go into a store and be lured by their marketing techniques. These places spend tons of money figuring out how to get people to buy stuff...such as putting the groceries at eye level to make it easier to see or putting things on the end of shelving so people think they are getting a good deal. Be like Santa...make a list and check it twice! Then don't buy anything else. Good luck on your savings journey.
