Comments on: Financial Mistakes I’ve Made http://www.astoryofdebt.com/2010/01/financial-mistakes-ive-made/ Thu, 27 Oct 2011 04:40:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kahea http://www.astoryofdebt.com/2010/01/financial-mistakes-ive-made/comment-page-1/#comment-123 Kahea Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:09:16 +0000 http://www.astoryofdebt.com/?p=82#comment-123 This is such a useful bullet list to do that I think I may do one myself. I often think very abstractly about where I went wrong in my whole money management scheme, and this would be good way to really take a look at my past mistakes and learn from them this time around...so thank you for the inspiration! Once again, I'm so glad you chose to write this blog! Also, I really appreciated you sharing how you got your Mac, because I find myself in a similar boat now. I want a Mac. I've had a Mac for most of my life, then I traded it in during law school for the ever-cheaper Toshiba since my final exams programs didn't support Mac. Now I want my Mac back. And I still have a perfectly good Toshiba (well, not perfectly good b/c it is Toshiba, but good enough). So I've been trying to rationalize this extremely large purchase, even in my new debt conscious mind. This post is really helping me see where that can lead me! Thanks!

I think for most of us facing this problem - and I only say most because a major medical problem caused all of my boyfriend's credit troubles - more than one factor contributed to the debt. Identifying them is a huge step toward not making the same mistakes though. So many of these sound ridiculously familiar.

I'm just hoping I'm not too deeply in debt enough right now that I can get back on track now and that I don't make the same mistakes I made when my credit cards are back under control.

I'm not longer as creative as I was with spending when I was on my Catholic school teacher salary. My biggest mistake now is spending and not saving.
