Have you ever lost/spent a large sum of money and regretted it?

I lost quite a chunk in shares,\n\nBut i have never regretted it since i agreed to play that game only after analyzing all the pros and cons, and I am hopeful of recovering that dough at some point in time!

No, i think living beyond your means can actually be an illness.  Sticking to a budget makes me feel better, because then i don't have to sweat it out between paychecks.\n\nMy biggest downfall is buying electronics and gaming stuff, and downloading from Napster!  So i have a set amount i can spend on this stuff and then stick to it.  Otherwise i feel bad and "why did i spend it on THAT?"  :-)

Wow, that's a lot to lose to a change machine with nothing in return...I've used them before but the most I lost was 1 dollar.

Did you specify how you wanted it spent?  Was spent to do His service?  I wouldn't ask for it back, But next time I would be very specific or give the money directly to the place you want it to go

Excuse me, WAITER?  \n\nYes.  But I know I cannot change anything like that. I do look back way on down the road and think, "Gosh, I could have handled that differently."  Sad part is, we usually don't reflect until years later about bad decisions and where we might have ended up if other choices had been made.  I never regret anything I have done until I realize that I could have made a better choice.

I stole some money. It doesn't justify why, i used it to pay my electric and water bill's and buy some groceries. My spouse at the time did not help with the bill's, i was trying to do right by my kids and in turn hurt them worse..The DUMBIST thing i have ever done!!!! This HUGE mistake will hang over my head and my kids heads forever...I truely,truely learned from it!!!

Good question.  I want to know what YOU just bought to make you ask that!  \nMy biggest regret was a health savings account that I didn't need and that no one told me didn't work the same way as an insurance policy.  Bad on the smooth talking salesmen that scam confused consumers!

No. That much money would complicate my life.

Hi-Pretty good.  Just a few minor changes: \n\nThe most embarrassing experience I have ever encountered was when I once went out for dinner without taking money. One day, I had a dinner with a man. I was dressed up for the occasion but didn't take any money. We had a really good time. Unfortunately, he received an emergency call and had to leave immediately.  After he left, I realized I had no money to pay for the bill and didn't know what to do.  Finally, I decided to call my father to help me, and ever since then I've always carried money with me.

I lost mine once.  I guess I was more mad at myself for being such an idiot than depressed.  My license was in there, luckily no credit cards, some cash, school ID...  Then I thought about people who lose a leg, or an eye, or worse, and I didn't feel so bad.  Plus I'm more careful now, and now there's lots more stuff in there than there was then!

Yep, unfortunately.  Because I was too broke to pay it back, and by the time I DID have the money, they said to forget about it.

I think that we all have bought something in our life that we regretted buying.  Sometimes we can return it, other times we have to chalk it up to experience and learn from our impulsive purchase.  Be gentle with yourself, it's OK.

I haven't. But have heard of many stories including a friend of mine. When she needed money really bad she pawned her wedding ring and only got $150 for it. Mind you it was a $1000 ring.   She really regrets it but looks back saying, "Well I really needed money that day!"...

everytime i go to walmart i buy things that i NEVER use, but it looked good in the store...  but tend to lose cash, by dropping it on the floor, i have dropped 400 dollars doing that, so that is the most wasteful.

Yes, I shopped around and around and around and still made the wrong purchase the first time around.  Second time was a much better experience.  Took 14 years to make up my mind on this purchase though.  Talk about shopping around, huh?

Yes but only when they screwed me out of something and I was just compensating my outstanding efforts.  I know that doesn't make it okay and I wouldn't do it now but at the time it made sense.  Never cash.  I would never do that.
