> I need to stop wasting fucking money on doing stupid shit. I could’ve done so many other things with the money. I could’ve launched one of my own real apps.

Or fed, clothed, housed disadvantaged people in your community (or neighbouring ones), giving them a temporary boost that could’ve made all the difference in their lives to improve their current situation.

It’s your money (and this is definitely not the website to make well-meaning altruistic suggestions, as might be demonstrated shortly) but if you already recognise you’re not spending it well (and from your words it seems like that is fairly recurrent), consider that perhaps spending it on a different type of software sink may not be the answer. Genuinely, aim to spend it on someone else and see how it works out. You might be surprised.
