Shot craps for 5 years until I had actually read one of my annual win/loss statements. Eye opener.

Bought a ton of gopro stock in the summer of 15. Sold for a small profit. Bought more on a dip. Only the company didn't dip, it tanked.

Probably running around hard before I met Mrs Füt.
I spent a bunch of money on spur-of-the-moment trips and hanging out with stray wimmenz.
I recall walking up to the counter at MSY and buying seats to Cancun.

I was 22 and not in college. Working full time. Went and bought a year old Tahoe LTZ and jacked it up. almost put truck nuts on it. Ended up going to college and gas hit 4.00 a gallon in 2008. Traded it in about 18 months after i bought it and took a BATH on it. Got a used Honda accord but my note said I was driving a BMW. Took 6 years to pay off a 5 year old base model accord.

Moving to Wichita. Moved here with like $500 to my name and no job lined up the August after I graduated college to be with the girl I was with at the time. Junk wrecked me financially.

Buying another house after I had sold my previous one to get debt free and just rent housing. I totally screwed up on that one.

On a similar note, I got carried away a few years ago trading 3x long/short natural gas ETFs during the winter, and using margin to boot. I'm reminded of that mistake every year since, $3000 at a time.
Yep, it was Proshares for me.

You and a bunch of others on the money board who were in that Ugaz thread. I remember being up nearly 100% at one point and just being greedy as hell. Ended up losing 60-70% of my "investment" before I finally admitted defeat.
