'Selling my condo [...] to move in with my now ex gf': 20+ expensive mistakes from regretful people

Everyone has made an unfortunate money-related decision at some point in their lives. For some folks, it could be as small as buying a ridiculously overpriced sandwich. For others, it could be as big as a messy divorce. People don't always love to admit when they've spent an exorbitant amount of money on something. It's much easier to live in denial and pretend like it was all worth it. 

 

However, these brave souls decided to own up to their expensive mistakes on the Internet. Their stories were compiled via this thread on r/AskReddit. Who knows? Maybe their anecdotes could save someone from spending a ton of cash on a wedding they'll never remember or a house they shouldn't buy. Admitting your expensive mistakes is also not only potentially paying it forward to someone else, but it's also a step forward in absolving yourself of the guilt and second thoughts you might have been holding onto for years.
