The best word to complete the analogy is "waster."

The relationship is based on behaviors regarding money: a "miser" is someone who hoards money and does not spend it, while a "spendthrift" is someone who spends money freely and carelessly, thus they can be described as a "waster."

So the analogy reads: miser : hoarder :: spendthrift : waster.
