discussion What was your most expensive mistake?

[Acindil]

Oof, I have a top 3.

Number 1: I can't remember when, but I saved up money from a couple of birthdays and bought a green dragon laser back before they were banned, it was a handheld pen laser that was strong enough to set things on fire, cost me $500.00, while I was careful with it and didn't abuse it, one day it magically disappeared from my room and I never found out what happened to it, either stolen or family threw it away.

Number 2: In the last 5 years I've purchased at least 10 Bad Dragon toys, a few non-brand toys and 2 adult machines and they are all currently just gathering dust.

And finally Number 3: My biggest and most expensive mistake, I stupidly let a family member convince me to spend nearly $10.000.00 on Doordash and out of state bus tickets over the course of a year and some change with empty promises of paying me back, only for them to get kicked out of the house and dropping contact.

Paid 100$ for an worthless certification and got cheated

Going to the cheapest 4 year university I could get into so I don't have to go through admissions again, then dropping out and going to community anyway because the cheapest university was still too expensive.
Runner up is cracking my motor open from overheating. I tried to get to the next exit instead of pulling over and turning the truck off immediately.

For example: breaking something valuable, missing a trip you already paid for, or any costly screw-up.
