I think the greatest disappointment in my life is this two. One is that since I was a child I really like to have my own business. But since I found a job seven years ago. And save some money and open one business after another. But five years ago disaster come. I loss my job. loss lots of money in my business I was broke. I'm so disappointed that until now I still don't have a job and I still don't have a business and have lots of debt. I'm a type of person who organize things and I'm not a type of person who is happy go lucky. That's why my failures really hurts me. And the biggest disappointment is when my GF for 10 years left me to marry somebody else. Although its mutual break up since we don't see any future in me and I feel I'm just dragging her down and I know she really want to have a baby since she is in her 30's now.

Theirs no such thing as wasted time if you fell in love. If you really feel in love then at that moment you are happy and maybe never been happy as you are at that time. Maybe now you find it silly. But I'm sure if you can turn back time you will realize that moment that you fall in love you are actually happy.

So sorry you went through these hardships, but like everyone said, keep your head up. For everything that goes wrong, there are tons of things that can go right. I totally understand about disappointments as well. I'm disappointed in myself for not taking school as seriously as I should have from the beginning, because now my reflect that lack of effort/fooling around. The important thing is to not dwell too long on the loss or the failure itself. You might be in debt now, but you can slowly make changes in the way you save, or even start a new business endeavor in time. Don't let yourself feel too down. Feeling sad is natural, but there is always something brighter in the future, no matter how dark things might seem now.

I don't have many regrets or disappointments but the one thing I guess disappointments is not ever having children, when I was younger I was never really into babies and children but now I look at little babies and toddlers and just can't watching them exploring the world, they are fascinating to watch...

Yeah. Sometimes we just have some different focus in our life that we don't know what we are missing until its too late. I do hope I can make good income and be a good businessman but I end up being a dreamer. I do hope that its never too late and that I still can reach my dream and goal. So I always struggle to achieve it until now.

it sounds like you are going through some real hardships. i hope you have some outside support during these times that can cause depression. there is a saying that the wheel turns both ways. you seem to be going on a counter clock-wise position now, but that can only happen for so long. eventually, the wheel has to start to turn the other way. maybe the things you though you had going on that was good, are the things that your subconscious knows that was not good for you. for example, maybe you can't run your own business if you have a job. maybe the GF you had wasn't the right girl for you anyway. sounds like she was never yours. you never know what doors or opening as a result of one closing. good luck to you. hope the wheel starts turning clock-wise soon. on to better things for you.

I guess its will never stop until all of this financial problem will be solve. So far I can manage to pay my own debt but since theirs five of us in the family right now that has no job its really hard to keep creditors at by. I'm hoping that we can open another business that can support as in near future.

I know that must be hard to take. I am sorry these things happened. It seems like you have a good attitude. Just keep trying! Try not to let the failures bring you down, look at them as a learning opportunity.

After a year its seems personally I'm breakeven and even make some profit right now. Some how its a good feeling. But same time three members of our family still have no job so that mean our earnings is still not as good as I want it to be. I do hope that I can grow my online forex account to the point that I can earn 1,000 dollars a month. If I can do that I know some how my monthly earning will be enough for our monthly expenses.

Bulastika, Do not give up. Yes you have had some set backs but the only way to not succeed is to stop trying. All successful people have experienced what you are going through. persevere! Find your inner strength and draw from it. Start small and try again. YOU WILL SUCCEED. As for the GF, yes it hurts to loose someone. In time your heart will heal and you will find someone who appreciates all of your efforts. Live Free!

After a year life continues. So far I don't know if I can say I'm much better condition now than last year. I'm happy that some how my online earnings has doubled but problem is that my family debt has quadrupled as right now theirs just too many compounding debt that I don't know if I can pay my debts with my current earnings as more than half just goes to debt payments.

Hello :). My condolences for your lose, both your business and your g/f. If your country is suffering from recession like mine, starting a business right now is cheap but will have a lot of loss so, unless it is someone who has a lot of starting capital, it isn't recommendable to start it for now. Right now even getting a job is hard in here, and a lot of people are suffering and having an increasing debt which can push them into despair. But don't lose hope, this bad economic times will pass as they always do and if you are ready to ride the change, you can use it to get anything you want. So what I can tell you is to not abandon your dream of having a business, because it is still possible, because no matter how grim things look now they will change. Keep trying hard and you will see that you can change your life as long as you don't give up.

After this economic problem I doubt I can recover. Unless I can find work in the government. right now my skills and attitude is only good for government job. I'm hoping that someone going to help me find a good job in the government but its seem all of our relatives is not good enough to convince their bosses to hire me.
