Adam, and LB, I agree with you both, I doubt, there is much people in the entire world who doesn’t have debt, whether it be a $10 or a $100,000 debt, bottomline is, it’s still a debt. What’s important is that we know we’re in debt and are willing to financially improve ourselves. Eventually, with hard work, we’ll get to pay it off. It’s better to realize the mistakes we’ve made now, than to never realize at all. I’m doing the same thing you are LB, saving up to go back to college. I think I’ve actually grown allergic to borrowing money.

1) Only took out a student loan for my tuition balance. I got a loan that covered “education” so anything that I deemed was education related (rent, spring break to Scotland, food, PSU football game tickets, etc.) was covered by this 9.9% interest loan. I would have graduated with only $30,000 in student loans and not $60,000.

2) Fully funded my Roth IRA and TSP accounts since I opened them. Lets see, 10 years x $5000 or $50,000 in the Roth IRA, and 5 years x $16,500 or $82,500 in my TSP for a grand total of $99,000 in savings. At this rate, I would be able to retire at age 48, or 25 years in Fed service, and never have to work again!

3) Not start an online get rich-quick business in 2009 which cost me about $45,000. I was a sucker and fell hook line and sinker for this. I understand my mistake and I am moving forward.

1. Investing in CD’s instead of the mutual fund that my father’s life insurance agent sold me in 1995.
2. Investing in CD’s instead of the dot-com bubble of 1998-2001
3. Investing in CD’s instead of the financial crisis of 2007-2009.
That’s why my name is StackingCash I was tempted to get into precious metals and real estate but I figure cash is safer. If cash becomes worthless I think there will be some sort of revolution/civil war and I better learn how to become a hunter/farmer/survivalist. I love this post because it gives others the opportunity to learn from others mistakes!

1. First wish–That someone would help me like I helped all those when they were down on thier luck.
2.Second wish–I wish I had made my kids sign a contract that when I bought them a new car after thier dad died,that someday they would all 3 have bought me one when I
was elderly and needful of one.
3.Third wish–I wish that a good christian man of my own faith and with money and the good life and could play music and sing like an angel would come and call me darling and plant a kiss that would wipe away all my sorrows and he and I would love each other like no other. lol I often dream that the big frog in the pond by my house turns into a prince and sweeps my heart away. He talks to me at night and I talk to him,I think we have good report,,but so far he in a very manly voice just says; Sarah you are my princess. lol hahahaha
I should not complain,,,as I am very blessed.Thank you God.

@LB – I agree with you. I have also learned from everything that I have done and am better because of it. I may not be better financially but at least I have something to write about!

I really don’t see anything financially that I would take back. I have learned from every thing I have done and wouldn’t take any back. I have played it safe though: I never owned a brand new car, I own a mobile home that is payed off instead of jumping into a home I couldn’t afford, and am saving so I can go back and finish college. I would like to fund my 401k more, but since I had crappy jobs, I figured other things were more important and it only got about 15% of my income.
