What is a financial lesson that you had to learn the hard way?

Cutting lost is just as important as starting the investment journey.

held on to a stock too Long and the price never returned to its original state.

Better to make a lost and reinvest it into something that will reap returns

When I first got my credit card, it's like new found "Free $"!

So I just spend spend spend and only paying the mininum, at up with 10k debts in 6 months time.

Long story short, learned the hard way, pay up 10k with interest within 3 years!

6 months of joy vs 3 years of pain!

Lesson learned.
