*je'meH* isn't just an action, it's a /purpose./ I'm not sure what 
having a completed purpose means. I know what completing having a 
purpose means, but that's something different. I wouldn't put perfective 
here unless I had a very good reason I could articulate.

I'm not sure how *'an* /waste /and *'anmoH*/sacrifice/ are related. 
Shouldn't *Huch vI'an* mean /I waste money?/ And if so, shouldn't *Huch 
vI'anmoH* mean either /I cause money to waste (something)/ or /I cause 
(someone unspecified) to waste money?/
