Going to college right after high school. I went off to college at age 18, because that’s what you do after high school, right? I had no clue what I wanted to study. Spent 7 years studying random liberal arts fields. Finally left school because I had no set goal and saw how many student loans I had already taken out. 18-year-old me was not very smart about money.
I once fell a victim of a Nigerian check scam. I was 20 years old, greedy, and stupid. I threw 10k out the window, just like that. That said, I would much rather learn that lesson at age 20 than at age 40 when wife, children, career are on the line. I think a lot of these errors on this thread could be interpreted the same way. Better to learn once and remember than not to learn at all.
