散財する also means to waste money or spend extravagantly, but it is a suru-verb and often implies a more reckless or wasteful spending than 入り揚げる.

Etymology

Compound of 入り (iri, 'entering', from 入る) and 揚げる (ageru, 'to raise' or 'to spend'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the combination suggests the idea of 'pouring money into' something.
