profligately
With wanton excess
Profligately means in a recklessly extravagant or wasteful manner: They spent profligately on luxuries while ignoring basic repairs.
The word carries moral weight—suggesting not just wastefulness but irresponsibility or even depravity.
Someone who lives profligately squanders resources with abandon, whether money, time, or talent.
