Buck, bass, wimmen, or a good deal on something you wanted.. whatever it was that still bugs you to this day.
Tell your story.

180 acres in Washington Co. We were so close to figuring out financing (and had even gotten estimates on what it would have taken to put electric and plumbing in old farmhouse on it) when someone went in and absolutely destroyed the house.... shot holes in the roof, ripped up sections of oak flooring and tried to set it on fire, broke out the windows... just destroyed it. No way could we afford to make it liveable again (or to build from scratch) so we had to walk away from the deal. That was 35 years ago and it still passes me off!!!

When the market crashed in 08/09 the stock at the bank my wife worked at went to one dollar a share. I wanted to buy 8000 shares but she was afraid it would become worthless so she talked me out of it. Had I bought it I could have turned 8000 into 400,000. Still almost puke over it.

That's why I just stopped.
Terrible game

A very wealthy man today in Murray tried to talk me and others into buying into Bitcoin at close to $100 like 10 years ago, said it was going to the moon. I didn’t of course, told him he was crazy while he invested big. Thing is, this dude would have a large net worth regardless so there’s that. Smart.

I was 15 years old when I asked my dad for a loan of $2,000. He went thru the roof and said I was too young to buy a car and I wasn’t even the age to get a license. Assuming I wanted to buy a car.

I told him I didn’t want to buy a car. And he demanded what then?! I said I wanted to buy 200 shares of a stock called Extendicare. Back then you had to be 21 to trade stock so I would have needed him to open the account. He went on to lecture me about “horse race, poor use of money, etc”.

Anyway, Extendicare, a nursing home company, turned out to eventually become Humana. Had I bought it and sat on it all this time with stock splits, I’d probably be sitting on the board of directors by now. LOL

Surely you went into the water after it

To no avail

To no avail

As long as you made the effort

60 acres with a nice cabin. Price was great, modern amenities cabin, 2 acre stocked pond. Still kick myself thinking of the memories we could have made there.
