Being accustomed to wasting money for hedonic purposes (e.g. buying souvenirs, going to cinema every week), that it eventually drains your money
Every time I go on vacation, I blow my budget on souvenirs and fancy dinners. It's like I'm on a hedonic treadmill, and my wallet is feeling it!

Italien treadmill is when you’re going to the bakken, and you stop by the nearest supermarket, to buy Italien Bread and a sixpack of beers

I was on the organic treadmill last night after getting pissed at the party. A way people use to get from one place to another during their day. Used more in the past before the popularity of gyms peaked. It's often a granola's favorite way to get somewhere. Hazards of using include bad weather, seeing other people, dog shit and hobos.
