What were the 3 specific decisions you rolled the dice on in life and:
1) Hit 7 or 11...
2) Crapped out...
What were the conditions and your rationale for making the decision at the time? Did you regret making the decision, not making the decision, or feel thankful you made the decision as it was later deemed to be a small "price" to pay for your later success?
I'll go first....
I think I'm at a such a point now. I have an opportunity to get a GREAT deal on a home that is a little bit out of my "psychological" tolerance. While I will be able to afford the home, I will have to let go of what today I consider things that are part of my livelihood--fine dining, being able to help family members readily financially, and above average miscellaneous spending.
Close self-examination suggests that I really need to enjoy the outdoors and do more community service more---all "free" and not "social" drains. I really believe making this purchase (aside from the potential, which I am not banking on) can really make me more focused afterwards. I've heard people say that having kids had a similar effect on them.
Net, I don't want to look back and say...."I wish I would have..."
Thoughts...
