Bought a second hand Jetta 2 for 20 000 and had it break down in 2 weeks, the repairs were going to cost 25 000 so just gave it up as a bad deal =[

First marriage.

Yes, that is a heavy price to pay, which is why a lot of people get married with their brains instead of their hearts these days.

Lend friends and family some money for helping them out in "stress" situations. Yet thereafter they can afford holidays and renovations but not paying back the cash they "Borrowed".

Mine was a car I took a R70k bath on.

Turning down a job offer I got 3 years ago.

 

[flarkit]

Bought a '89 Golf for 15K that broke down 3x in the first year (radiators, clutch, fuel pump). Sold it 18 months later for 10K.

Declined a job offer in the Netherlands. Still living with the main reason

Left a R1,000 withdrawal in an ATM.

Lending money to family, year after year after year.

Upshot? I have no short-term debt, since I've had to learn to make money last.

Maybe he was trying to start a "pay it foward" movement involving money

 

[blunomore]

Definitely attempting to do any kind of business with family. A big no-no.

That is why you take a grand for dancers, cover charge and drinks money and leave the cards at home.

Off topic. What the hell is the difference between VIP and the floor?

Back on topic. I don't have major financial mishaps. I just seem to bleed money all the time.
