A couple hundred bucks in Warmachine stuff (rule book, figures, paints). I base coated most of them and did some basic paint work on a whole bunch, but they've sat untouched for a few years. Never once played a game with them.
What kind of guitar is it?
And honestly, 15 minutes of learning notes/scales and 15 minutes of learning tab from a song you want to work on 2-3 times a week is all it would take to get you playing in a few months. Not much commitment there. When most people get their 1st song nailed their enthusiasm shoots up, but it can be hard knowing what to do on your own. This is why I always recommend professional lessons for the first few months.
One month I bought a Macbook Air, Samsung Series 9 and a Sony Vaio Z, so I can test them out and see which one I liked the best. I spent about 10 minutes on the Samsung and couldn't stand the trackpad. I spent about an hour playing on the Sony, before settling on the Macbook Air. Then I went out and bought three more Airs while the Samsung and Sony sit unused.
Car insurance, and hopefully I'll never have to use it.
I have an extra Smith & Wesson M&P15T that I've never fired, it just sits in the safe.
I've also got a M&P15 and 17 other AR15s and 2 AKs I haven't shot yet. I have however, shot all my pistols now. Just placed an order for an ACR. Now I need to hunt down a SCAR 17.
Car insurance. I can buy a new car every couple years with that money. It's actually kinda sad how expensive car insurance is.
Did you see that plate renewals went up as well? $90 a year now. You don't even get a discount for the two year stickers.
Holy CRAP! I paid over $2,000 this past year to register my cars. You guys have it good if all you're paying is $90.
BBQKetchup Braised Root Beer Chicken: (crockpot recipe)
2 bottles ofBBQ saucedressed up ketchup (I use two different flavors of Kraft)
12 ounces of Root Beer
6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
(optional) Whatever spices you have on-hand (garlic powder, Kosher salt, etc.)
Dump in everything but the chicken, stir around to mix, then add the chicken (make sure it's covered in the sauce). Cook on low in the crock pot for 5 hours, shred with a couple of forks, throw back in and cook for another hour. It's like pulled pork, but better. And the longer it stays in the fridge after cooking, the better it tastes (it can marinate up to a week and the leftovers taste even better!).

how much is it up north and are bigger cities a lot more? In NY I'm paying $450/6 months a car for full coverage. Liability only was like $250/6 months.
How about we just do a massive giveaway of the stuff we don't use?
I really have to not post much here, but a couple more:
- A $600 dessert (ice cream/gelato) maker, tried it once, didn't work well
- $250 Kitchen Aid mixer
- $100 Logitech wheel for PC gaming
- Several mice, World of Warcraft headset ($120), SSD's and HD's, other parts
- $400? Disney Club 33 anniversary jacket
This is the one I bought:

Yeah, I probably should have done lessons. I got to the point I didn't feel like I was actually making any progress. Like I could read along to tabs, but I didn't feel like I knew what I was really doing. And just playing scales was boring and again, didn't make me feel like I was learning anything. So I learned a few chords and was practicing changing between them quickly, but then I was like umm... Now what? And gave up.

kitchenaid stand mixer probably tops the never used list, but there's other stuff that's rarely used or hasn't been used in a longer time that cost more, like a pair of bauer hockey skates that i haven't used in 15 years.
this is not barbecue
