Word of the Day: Spendthrift
The person who bought the things in the picture accompanying this post today could be a spendthrift.
A spendthrift spends a lot of money in a very wasteful way.
I suppose, though, that whether a person is a spendthrift or not is open to interpretation.
What I mean is that if a person has a lot of money and spends a lot, they may not be wasting it.
Buying expensive things is reasonable for them.
I would caution that it all depends on the personal and financial circumstances of the person, plus our own opinions as to whether a person is a spendthrift or not.
