How would you feel if you were me and you made the same mistake on 12/30/00?

Question

I'm only posting this because I want to hear from you on how you would would feel if you went through my situation.
Tell me how'd YOU'D feel, ok?


1) You're going on 22 the next month of January of 2001.
2) You have between $10,000 to $11,000 saved up that you worked extremely hard for through all that the PAIN, MISERY, and SACRIFICE to get it.
3) You make the STUPID mistake of spending it all on a car and now you're flat broke just like that.
4) You're still in college.
5) You don't have a real job yet.
6) You don't have a credit history yet.
7) You realize that if you spent $2,500 on a older car, you'd still have $7,500 to $8,500 for security and to have a little fun with.
8) Despite spending it on a car with under 25K, all of that money is gone so you can't have any FUN with it. No boombox, no girls, nothing you'd find enjoyable to spend it on...
9) Just like that, any of that money you were gonna save up for your future is now gone...

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

Answer 1

Did you learn anything from the mistake? If so, it seems worth it to me.

Answer 2

I'd probably feel like I wish I had made a different choice.

Then, if I really hated the situation that much, I'd find a cheaper car to buy and sell this one and then continue saving and not make that mistake again.
