> Honestly, that feels like copium.
It’s like anecdotes you hear from religious people during a disaster. “I lost five of my kids. But I’m so thankful that God looked out for me and saved one”
It still says “copium”
> Anyhow, your 2008 failure was, sorry to say, 100% your fault.
Isn’t that what I just said that they were my mistakes?
> And not being willing to admit your mistakes and assess your weaknesses means that you continuously make the same mistakes.
And then I went on to admit my mistakes.
In the very comment that you replied to I said It was definitely a personal failure
> Interestingly enough, that's what pushed me towards entrepreneurship. I had to earn more money
And I decided to upskill and I knew when I signed the offer letter at each job, how much I was going to make without any risk.
> Like you, I wasn't making enough money at the time to survive that. I lost the house a couple of years later.
I didn’t say I couldn’t keep my house. I made more than enough to keep my primary home. It was very much a strategic default. I had another house built and got an FHA loan three years to the day after my last foreclosure. Money is never personal to me
