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

[Sunalmighty]

None really. I spent 3k on a bullshyt timeshare. Lawrence Welk. But that's what I would have spent on a vacation anyways so

 

[Sunalmighty]

Not saving/investing money. Not hanging around the right people with the right mindset.

You hang with 4 broke niccas eventually you will be number 5

Bet my entire coli cash on Killa Cam winning that super bowl

Getting a job until I was 22..if I could've had one my savings would probably be much more

Only one I kinda kick my self over is student loans. It seemed so normal at the time. I definitely should've tried to pay more out of pocket tho, or go to a community college and transfer.

Good luck with that breh, colleges are now aware of this shyt and it's damn near fukking impossible to do it anymore.

As for me, I had substantial money in some stocks that exploded and I decided to pull out.......I think about ending my life everytime because of it. The one time I was NOT supposed to pull out.

True. The bar is set so low for some of us. I had so many friends getting evicted, riding the bus, and can't keep a phone. So paying bills on time and just keeping a stable address was a major accomplishment to me. Never wanted more.

1. Not buying Facebook stock when it was at $20
2. Letting family know how much money I have in savings

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.

What do you look to invest in? What do you do for a living?

Taking on a stupid amount of student loans. That in turn fukked up my credit which set me back a good 10 years in life. I'm not saying college is bad, but don't take on a stupid amount of student loans. Go to a cheaper, respectable school and get good grades. You've got to be going to Harvard for people to not care you graduated with a 2.0.

 

[Insun Park]

Not saving money and just wasting my earnings on weed and junk food

No it's not, I did that, I just got accepted to CPP, SFSU,SDSU, and UCSB , still waiting to hear back from 3 more schools in the next coupe of weeks..
Stop telling these nikkas lies As long as your grades are right then you got a shot at a lot of schools.

Colleges need to fill class rooms, and transfers help take the spots of the people who flunked out or couldn't afford to stay.
