These People Made Expensive Mistakes That They’ll Regret Forever

My best mate was in a bit of a rush to buy himself a car. He had a nice little nest egg of $20,000 put aside just for this purchase. He did a bunch of private inspections around our area, but he just couldn’t find one he wanted. He finally stumbled across the perfect car for him, great mileage (all country driving), full service history and in excellent condition. The only problem? The buyer was on the other side of the country. For what ever reason my mate decided to contact the dude and organise the purchase. After the money transfered, the ad disappeared and so did the car owner. I just have no idea what was going through my mates head, it has been 5 years and they never caught the fraudster and my friend never got his 20k back.

Freshman year of college I thought my final exam was at 11:30. It was at 9:30. The exam was 40% of my grade, so I failed. I lost my scholarship, and had to pay to retake the class.

I bought a business. Turns out I’m not all that great at being a business owner.

Losing my father’s wedding ring at the beach about 5 years ago. My mum gave it to me when my father passed away which was 13 years ago.
