I didn't get a good look at the divorce papers I was bent over to far.

Ooooo! Nasty.
There's no one as good at shafting a man as a lawyer: but you're supposed to pick one who's on your side, not hers!

A few thousand on a divorce mediator. Then my ex didn't like what he was saying would likely happen, we both then had to invest in lawyers, and she basically ended up getting what the mediator originally said. Quite a lot of $$ wasted.

Reminds me of my daughter; she gave her soon-to-be-ex a proposed divorce agreement, he got all pissy, ran off to the top divorce lawyer in town and in the end, after he spent well over $5000 and she $3000, they ended with her original proposed agreement! (I was pissed since I "loaned" her the money for the fiasco.)
(By contrast, my divorce itself cost $1050; $700 for the divorce, $350 for the ridiculous paperwork and court order to split a 401k. My ex and I came up with our agreement in two hours and it took three weeks to file and get finalized. Best $1050 [and half my retirement] I ever spent.)

Heh. That reminds me, I have 200 shares of a company I used to work for. Not sure exactly what my cost basis is, but the value is now $2.00.
Oh well, if I ever need a loss to offset some gains...

Me too.  And you're right about offsetting capital gains.

It got better today. And yes, I am being completely honest when I say I found it in a bin.

Exactly. Taxes. Absolutely the worst thing to have to spend money on. Funny thing is, I wouldn't actually mind paying taxes if I felt I had a say in how the money was used.

I don't know how bad it is in the US, but here in the UK there's something called self-assessment where you have to try and work out how much you pay. Doing that is actually worse than handing the money over.
Taxation here is very, very complicated.

In the US, if your taxes are at all complicated, you need a tax program. Fortunately, there are some free ones online. For everyday life, if it requires software, it's too complicated.

Same here, except it's called "estimated taxes", basically required if you're a contractor. The IRS penalizes you if you underestimate your income and/or aren't paid up by the end of Dec.
And a tax accountant is well worth the $350 I pay for the service.

You should come to switzerland. People here kept voting against plans to raise the road tax for years!  Unfortunately we still have little say with respect to income tax - but then it is rather low to start with. (IMHO)

Your health... If you need to spend on that you're probably not doing so well!
And the worst thing about health is that it's priceless. And by that I mean expensive! Luckily I don't spend a whole lot on it

Wow, you got that one right!
Also included in the list of unnecessary surgeries: sebaceous cyst removal.
The pucker of that scar reminds me of why you roll the bills around a finger before you chuck them into the fireplace.
Everytime.

Ah, that one was about dentistry! Not being a native english speaker, this made me think about the roots filling the canal under my house (also a waste of money - the company dealing with it needed to return three times just to find the root of the problem (pun intended))
