wastrels
Those who fritter
Wastrels are people who waste money, time, or resources through idle or reckless living.
The word carries strong disapproval, suggesting someone who squanders what they have—especially an inheritance or family fortune: The old man's wastrel sons gambled away everything he'd built.
Wastrel can also mean something rejected as worthless, though this sense is rare.
