    starting gambling, never really had an outlet until my brother in law got me up with his bookie after I got tired of making him money off my picks. After whetting my beak, my bookie decided to stop and told me to go online. Wish I had never started.

    Started smoking   (have quit now for almost 10 months)

    Decided that drinking with my friends was more important than hanging out with this really awesome girl that I have never even come close to finding someone else like her.

    And after some research,  I wish I was never into sports cards... could have probably walked out with a new car on my 16th birthday, instead 20 years later I have about 20000 worthless pieces of cardboard taking up space in the house.

    All in on Siri Radio went they went public. Held it too long and took a 300k kick an the balls.

    Then started sports gambling, we know how that went.

     

    Not buying google instead at the initial offering of 85.00 a share.

    Not joining the Navy after college graduation.

    Relationship with a latina.

    Geeezus...I could type all day.

    That's life boys, we do our best and nothing fair.

    Picking up gambling.  

    It's cost me in every facet of life.  And while you'll find some smart-a$s who will say "you're doing it wrong" or "money management" BS, we all know about the long-run.  Unfortunately, (for me) it feels like the long-run was LOOOOONG ago....and I've only been at it for 10 years.  Seems like an eternity and definitely a waste of many years.

    Well said. Any long term degenerate would agree with every word. If not then they're completely dilusional.

    Well said. Any long term degenerate would agree with every word. If not then they're completely dilusional.

    Started gambling.

    Took many thousands of dollars in losses to learn how to do it. When I actually became good at it, it took even more losing to realize my compulsive tendencies would never allow me to maintain a profit.

    I gave back all my money I would have saved for the past 8 years or so. Well most people mess up big time with at least 1 decision in life, so I chalk it up to life experience.

    If you don't count gambling, it was loaning $10,000+ to a good friend of mine that's a deadbeat when it comes to money. Also, cosigning an automobile loan for someone with no sense of responsibility. Despite being dead broke for the majority of the past decade, I've never missed a payment on anything.

    Buddy of mine was struggling as his long time girlfriend had broken up with him.  I was spending a lot of time with him trying to get him through it.  He wanted to go out and have beers again, but I already had plans with my girl that night.  I went to his apartment the next day and he'd killed himself. 

    For years I was full of regret and guilt for not going out with him that night.  I try not to hang on to any regrets since then, but as the scale goes that is my biggest one.  21 years ago this summer.

    There is nothing you could have done Clay.  If somebody has it fixed that they want to end their life, nobody is going to stop them.  We had a tight group growing up as teenagers and Brett blew his head off with a shotgun.  Nobody saw it coming.  We were all like, WTF?  He disappeared one day and wasn't found for a few weeks.  That was the toughest part, we didn't know what happened.

    He would have found a way to get where he was going even if you had gone out with him that night.  That is a fact.  You can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.
