Understanding this quote
The speaker divides his money into two groups: what he spent on “booze, girls and fast cars,” and everything else, which he says he simply wasted. The joke is in calling even the first group a kind of spending while dismissing the remainder as pointless. It presents a deliberately extravagant, self-critical view of his use of money.
