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

[Turk]

Accruing the debt i now have. I'm only 21 so i still have time to get it right but i would never have put myself in this hole had i known what i know now

The amounts lost in these 3 stories are smaller and smaller but the mistakes are bigger and bigger.

1: Not investing in Netflix like someone was badgering me to. I invested in a "safer" Asian Growth fund that did ok but nothing like what Netflix did. I would have made hundreds of thousands of dollars instead of a few thousand.

2: Investing in a restaurant that failed. Cost me about 30k.

3: Bankrolling a stranger $500 at a casino who promised to pay me back cuz we were having fun at the tables. Never saw him again, obviously.

Going back to school to get my Masters.

If you mind me asking, why do you regret this?

Because I just got accepted to Two grad schools and I'm a little nervous about this. Could you provide some insight?

I really wasn't honest with myself about what I wanted to do. I feel I could've used the two years my program required to finish to start a business which was what I really wanted to do. I made it a year into my program and knew it wasn't for me but finished up anyway. I love what I do now, which is not what I went back for, but to really move up and be taken seriously I need a Ph.D and I don't know about that. Lol

Also, I don't think the cost was worth it. However, you should definitely look into whether it's a good move for your set of circumstances. Depending on what degree you're pursuing it may very well be worth your while.

your point?

You cold like the winter time breeze. They told me not to fall in love and I didn't listen

Blowing financial aid money instead of investing it in drugs

Thank you, I'm trying to look at the pros and cons of choices as well.

Helping my bum ass sister out, that is my biggest mistake.

Going to college, I would not consider that a big financial mistake, the mistake was getting passed over for a football scholarship because I was from California. That scholarship would have helped a lot becuse I could not afford college.
