I often hear people talk about personal finance like there is only one pathway to success. “Do this, not that” “The only way to get wealthy…” “That way is for suckers” “The only way is to make more” “Nothing else will work”
Ok, so you did it. You made a bad financial choice. By “bad”, I mean something that doesn’t align with your goals and values. Something you wish you didn’t do.
