I must admit, I made so many money mistakes that how I wish I did not make at all. Perhaps, my financial status now is much better. I invested into few business, one at a time, that failed. I lost my capital worth thousands from those investments. The reasons: I don't know much how to run the business, I trusted too much, I am not ready of the risks, and I taught once you invest there is always a gain. Any money misakes you've done? Wanna share it here?

That is a positive attitude. Besides, it is never to late to try doing some business again. I hope our experiences taught us lessons we can use.

Hello, I made some mistakes too.The biggest was with my good friend. The story begin when he told me that she need a credit,but she was not on good position and I helped her!! I took a credit for her!!With that money she buy a ticket for New Zealand!!She promise to me that she will start returned money for few month when she start with new life in new country!!During past ten years she only send me two or tree e-mail with some pictures from her new home!!When I try to have a contact with her and try to ask her for money back she stop with responding!!My mistake-my money!!!Regards Silvana
