If you mean, waste, you can use both right? Otherwise if you mean spend, only gastar? Gracias.
Bueno, allí no hace falta bajar y tampoco malgastaremos una bota. Gastar would work there too?
Well, we don't need to go down there, or waste a boot either. Gracias.

It's like 'spend' and 'misspend', I think - Goldie_Miel, Feb 3, 2011

"Gastar" is not always interchangeable with "malgastar".
- Gasté todo mi dinero en libros que me serán muy útiles.
- Malgasté todo mi dinero en libros inútiles.
