This first is a crypto answer. When I was 17 I dropped out of high school and sat alone in the dark in my room all day on /b/. This was back in 2010. I bought like a thousand BTC because I kept seeing threads about it and they were less than a cent each. Didn't know anything about crypto didn't think anything would come of it and didn't hodl on to any of my keys or anything. So basically my young autistic loser self left me something like 15+ million dollars but its just locked away somewhere I can never get to.

The second one was going back to school and wasting money on a degree for the sake of "getting an education". Never did anything with it and never will, and all I actually got was debt.

24 I paid $2000 to get LASIK and it permanently ruined my night vision

26 I paid an opthalmologist in texas $4000 to make me a custom fit pair of scleral contact lenses to try to 'fix' the visual issues. It didn't help much and I couldn't tolerate wearing them for long periods anyways.

If I invested all that money in stocks I'd have like $15k now, in bitcoin and I'd have $100k now. So I basically paid someone $100k to permanently damage my eyes. Not a good investment.

Last 2 years I spent 5k~ on gacha...
At 16 I worked a summer job and spent it all on a plane to australia to bang an eno chick who cheated on me after 2 weeks for weed
At 18 to 19 I worked 16 he days 3 days a week and pretty sure I never got paid for it. But never contested it cause I was too shy and first job. (Fuck dollar general)
And spent all money I made buying useless shit on internet.

Recently it's been my drinking habbit. I'd get super drunk and somehow lose cash, I did it twice over the last month and over $370 disappeared and I have no idea where the fuck it went. I've since stopped drinking and have decided to never forget about my mistake, every time I think I want beer I remind myself to quit while I'm ahead. Could be worse, at least I didn't get a dui or anything.

I lied about a family member being in the hospital to use up all my sick time before quitting. At one point a now former boss lady told me something that pissed me off so much I gripped my badge and was ready to slam it down and quit. Had my lie been real Id have quit then and there in a fit of yelling. Later she demanded more details. I fucking caved. Its none of her damn business but i cant believe i caved probably cause i was siphoning the sick pay. But damn she pist me off so much. Especially when she said "why didnt you tell me" rigjt after i gave her the made up excuse. Reeeeeeeeee how dare she say that as if it were no big deal all while threatening me prior with not having it listed as a sick day.

A year later I was buying bitcoins for pills on the silkroad. I remember I was really happy becauise bitcoin shot up and I got a good deal on my pills. I got like TWICE the amount I was expecting because of the sharp rise. I was raelly happy. The cost? 6 bitcoin for 5 pills. Most expensive session of my liff.e 100 grand mdma pills LOL

University - Hated it but stuck with it as young, naive and always been told "You need a degree to get anywhere". Now I know that is complete shit of course. Thousands in debt I had to pay off for no actual advantage in life.

Fast cars - Spend thousands on them, last one was an M series BMW. I had Akra exhaust, remap, everything you name it. Got bored and sold it months after. Now I know fast cars and showing off are for young fags trying to impress other young fags, nobody else cares.

Serial online junk buyer - Every week my Amazon (or wherever) basket was loaded up with shit and purchased. 95% of the stuff I never really needed just seemed cool at the time. Thousands wasted here as well.

Luckily I learned my lesson with all the above and many more.

legit. University is a scam for 90 percent of people. If youre gifted you dont need a degree to make it (unless youre doing some highly guarded career path like a surgeon or lawyer), and if youre an idiot youll be working some crappy job thats maybe like on par with being a handyman.

I didn't get to be at my grandfathers deathbed even though I had the chance. He practically raised me and I was really close to him. They took him off the drug cocktails for the last day and I could not bare to see him in that state or give him what I knew to be my last goodbyes. Now afterwards it tares me apart that I didn't do it. Anons, if you think you can't bare to see them in that way or say goodbye, just do it. It may hurt, but it will destroy you forever after if you don't.
