Have you ever made a very bad financial decision that impacted on your finances so bad it almost wrecked you and rendered you almost bankrupt at any point in the past? I had a very bad experience with my financial investment in the MMM Ponzi in 2018. I lost a great deal of money when the ponzi scheme crashed in 2018.
What's your worst financial mistake?

Most likely getting a newer car recently instead of paying off my debt or getting a house, but it's something that is sure to pay off in the future.
Which car did you get? I have so much love for Ford or Toyota cars.

Ford fusion 2020, not a big fan of it.
It's not a bad car either. It looks a bit like Lexus.

Kind of. Does drive good though after awhile they start to have issues.
You got it brand new right? It's going to be a while before it start having any issues (mechanical or electrical)

Brand new means little in this mass produced world of ours.
Yeah, that's true anyways lol.

I've sold new pcs right out of the box that didn't start up at all, very stressful.

Buying a £700 coffee machine! It’s great but every time I use it now I think about how many other things that month would have been better spent on. Could’ve settled for a much cheaper machine!

I invested on Ultimate Cycle that year. It was one of the worst decision that I made that year, I weep each time I remember about it.
That's definitely expensive to buy. I wouldn't pay that much for a coffee machine.

I have been good with handling my finances. I can't think of any bad expenses I had in a long time. If we are not looking at bad investments which didn't pay off, I'm good with my finances.
