Fritter away

To fritter away is to waste or squander something. You could fritter away a lot of money. You could fritter away your time. The key idea here is that you're wasting money or time slowly, bit by bit. Here are a few examples:

John inherited a lot of money from his grandfather, but he frittered it all away.
Don't fritter the weekend away watching TV!
It's easy to fritter your money away if you're not careful.
He was supposed to save money during the summer, but he frittered his paychecks away going to clubs.
