    60k --- wasted on mortgage interest.

    Never enter a mortgage without paying a lump sum early after closing.

    Get a amortization chart to see exactly what you're paying, and never accept a prepayment penalty.

    I have a Lexus ISF currently. It's 5.0l V8. Na I turbo charged a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer thinking I was a Evo. Long story short. Engine blew up really quick.

    I'd count that as a real investment into your education on what you dont want in a relationship :)

    I would say mine was wasted. I once had a 480 dollar bar tab for a night I don’t even remember :(

    Some nights I ran my bar tab too high relative to the amount of fun I've had. Always hurts to wake up hungover, tired, and annoyed the night was a bust and still blow like $60.

    I don't own a car or have a mortgage. Worst investment I ever spent was a trip to Nice when I was in Europe. I was on a multi city trip and had a few days to spare. Went to Nice from Rome on a friends recommendation. Lodging was bad. City was meh. It was too cold for the beach and I didn't have a suit to gamble in Monaco. It was also the weekend of Easter so everything was closed Sunday. If I could do it over again I would have spent the 2.5-3 days someplace else or just went home earlier.

    2008 forced me to go back to work, before that I was retired, and making more in interest each month than spending.

    Better to be back at work....maybe after this game I will retire again.

    You gotta at least remember early night.

    Main thing is your health and freedom.

    You probaly over turbo'ed it. My cuz had a MR2 turbo, he blew his turbo 2x (no warranty from Toyota). And we had a 2005 GTi, I blew a stock turbo (warrantied). Never again treat it like a race car.

    Blew my money on Fonx stock in 2000, never again buy speculative stock.

    I went to Remington College to become a doctor only to find out it's not accredited after 10 years. 300k in debt.
