Just confirmed that the health insurance provided to me is costing my wife and I a total of $2500 more this year than it needs to. We were fed some bad info and because of the pandemic, all signing up was done virtually. Usually we visit with a rep who walks us through each step face to face. It's still my own fault for not going with my gut instinct. But damn...this hurts...

30,000 shares of Enron stock in 1998. Thankfully I rebounded just fine and became a partner in my hedge fund in 2005.

If $2500 over 12 months is your worst financial mistake, then you are doing extremely well my friend.

UF-14 against LSU recently is mine.
And a haircut. That shite never grew back.

Every man should have a buzzcut by 25 just to see if they can pull it off or start setting money aside for hair plugs imo

I sold some rental property in 2014 after the economy and real estate came back after the crash. I made money but If I would have held on to it another 3 or 4 years I would have probably doubled my profit.

I had a house built in 2007. My signature on the closing papers triggered the housing market collapse. I sold it 3 years ago and still lost money.
