You're right too, you did get lucky with the credit cards and I'm glad it worked out for you. My basic salt test is if I need to pay for a vacation on credit, then it means I can't afford it and I better reprioritize my spending habits to start saving for it!

It wouldn't have cost nearly as much but I wanted a honeymoon suite at the Wildnerness Lodge which meant concierge level. I think each night was almost as much as our mortgage!

We all have something that we regret. Mine was 20 years ago. No furniture but had to have a leather couch and financed one couch over 2 yrs. Two years later I had a bed, a couch and a tv. Not much else. Thanks for sharing...now we know you are human. The difference between you and most others is that you learned! We all have something that we regret. Mine was 20 years ago.

Too bad mine was much more than yours. Though not debt (I've never borrowed a cent), I stupidly loaned money to someone who later became my sister-in-law. When my husband and I married a few years later, I told him about it and we forgave the debt. All $11,000 of it, which was probably half my salary at the time. It was a very expensive lesson to learn! Ah, stupid tax, haven’t we all paid some! Too bad mine was much more than yours.
