Hi Milk,
I couldn’t agree more. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Mistakes at the time are horrible, especially mistakes with big repercussions. As time passes though, you almost appreciate making those mistakes, as it makes you into a stronger and better person. At this current time, I hate the fact that I’ve become a gambling addict, but I’m sure that in the future I will look back on these days and think “don’t worry mate, you’ve got over it, and you’re a much better person because of it”.
The debt is a bummer, but fortunately I’m young (21) and couldn’t get myself into THAT much debt. I couldn’t get a big loan or a mortgage, and that’s what saved my ass – my age. I was about 5k in debt but I’ve managed to pay it off slowly but surely. I should be debt free in a months time!
Take care, and stay gamble free!
