Throw away (money)

I can’t afford to throw away €200.
· No puedodarme el lujo detirar 200 €.
· No puedo desperdiciar 200 €.
· No puedo permitir malgastar 200 €.

I’m looking for different ways to say 'to throw away' or 'to squander'. So far, I’ve come up with the above three, and I wanted to make sure that these are correct in their contexts.

Yo estoy acostumbrado a usar el verbo "botar".

En este caso: "No boto €200,00" como si nada fuera. :p
