squanderer
One who wastes
A squanderer is someone who wastes money, time, or resources carelessly.
The word carries moral weight—a squanderer doesn't just spend freely but fritters away what shouldn't be frittered: a squanderer of his inheritance, a squanderer of talent.
The term implies both excess and regret.
