Probably about the same time that "ride" and "ask" were noun-ized.

I'm probably going to spend too much effort worrying about this one.

An article published by TechRepublic through its e-mail subscription
uses the phrace, "reduce your annual spend" rather than "reduce your
annual expense" or "reduce your annual expenditure."

Since when? Was I asleep?

Or am I efforting too much spend?
