| What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made in your life? |
| Poor financial control in my very early 20s. Took awhile to crawl out of credit card debt. |
| Being unkind to a good friend |
| Trusting people will do the right thing when mostly they are only out for themselves. |
+10000 |
| Marrying someone who wasn't right for me. |
|
I fooled around with another girl when I did a semester abroad in college. I broke up with my girlfriend at home, but now I realize that was probably dumb. She moved on and married someone else. I wish now that I’d stuck with her, but I messed up.
|
| Leaving my marriage without doing anything / making any arrangements or agreements about the house we owned. Years later my credit score is great (I worked so hard, it was in the 500s when I left my ex) but although I desperately want to try to buy my own new home now, I doubt I will ever qualify for a new mortgage since my name is still on the old loan/house, though he pays. It's heartbreaking and I feel like I will pay for this mistake for the rest of my life. |
| Oh probably my whole life, right now I'm going to go with the firt guy I dated, that unleashed a whole can of worms in my life. Always trust you intial instincts ladies. |
| Having more kids |
| Marrying my ex and having his kid. Abusive. I will recover. But it will take years more, |
This is fixable. |
Wait, what? He needs to refi and buy you out. |
| Grew up in an extremely religious, bigoted house. Refused to come out until I was 26 because I didn’t want to them to hate me. I should have just bit the bullet when I was 18 and been able to have a real young adult life. |
| Picking the wrong father for my children. |
