You Are Wasting Money
"20 Ways Americans Are Blowing Their Money"
20-credit card interest
19-unclaimed tax refunds
18-unclaimed property
17-"deal sites"
16-wasted food
15-bad health habits (soda, candy, fast food)
14-speedy shipping
13-ATM fees
12-designer clothes for infants and kids
11-gambling
10-alcohol
9-tobacco
8-unused gift cards
7-warranty coverage
6-unused gym memberships
5-lottery tickets (same as #11)
4-speeding/traffic tickets
3-premium cable
2-premium coffee
1-wasted energy (inefficient home heating / cooling / insulation)
(I'm not sure what order these are in. Surely not the right order, as tobacco and lottery/gambling would be way higher than coffee and cable.)

(All right, all right.... it's not tickets.... and definitely not the gym membership.)
And, I've got at least 2 that didn't make the list.
