What is the biggest financial mistake you made in your twenties?

[j.smooth4]

Probably lending my friend 2k.




Let's share...

 

[BezO]

Formal education that didn't include degrees in finance, economics & entrepreneurship.

 

[Sterling Archer]

A failed investment. Wasn't really a mistake until the moment it fell through. Risk money to make money when its your own though.

 

[TEH]

Student loans <- that was teens


20's not buying property / real estate that earns $

 

[j.smooth4]

Student loans

This is the biggest one a lot of my friends made. Some of them have 50k-100k and don't have a degree

 

[Vice Queen]

Not saving sooner.

 

[Soundbwoy]

students/car loan and not saving enough

 

[The BasedFather]

Paying @Dollfacecraze a stack for a night. She laid there like a dead fish

 

[mannyrs13]

Not focusing enough on school.

 

[EndDomination]

None so far.
Wish I would have started putting money into a Roth IRA sooner, and increased the amount I put in small-time savings accounts.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Student loans I guess. I could've gone to CUNY ( Brooklyn college) for free. But I wanted the " real campus, real college experience", real diversity, joining organizations etc.

I use to be a heavy Yugioh card player in my earlier 20's. I spent over 5k on cards, Shonen jumps, regionals, and preview tournaments. I could've used that extra cash for something else

Like Vice Queen said, I could've saved more money.

 

[eufemism]

Having to take 6 years instead of 4 for a bachelor's because I was stupid and thought I didnt have to study

So now I'm 18K in debt with three or more years left to go

 

[beaniemac]

when I was 23, I quit a good full-time job with verizon doing telecom work without a backup plan cuz I wanted to do IT

shyt derailed my career for like a year.

 

[rogue_riezo]

Still making them

The #1 answer...... Clubbing

My family thought my 67 Impala was a bad investment, but I would still have that car if not for my excessive clubbing and drinking
