What's your best "Strike while the iron's hot" story & "Patience is a virtue story"? A person? Purchase? Investment? Job? Weather? Travel? ANYTHING?

Being completely and utterly humiliated in public (friends wise and some other new acquaintances) about a very personal and private matter shared in confidence with who I thought was a friend, I had patience didn't try defend myself, bit my tongue just took it on the chin (felt like absolute shit but kept my head up). Then after the person felt all strong and mighty for making me look like a dick, almost everyone that knew both me and him slowly but surely started attacking him all night about all the attacks he had done similar to all of them, it was like they all realised that from what he said to me it brought back trauma of a time he had done it to them and when he tried to defend/argue against it another brought out another example of him betraying trust and humiliating another person.

I'll never forget it and I'll always remember that karma is a bitch for malicious MF's.

I get no joy from his pain but...

Sounds like an ass. Karma will get him.

Maybe buying a house, this last house I bought took longer than it should’ve to close, but I didn’t buy it a great time but not really a bad time either and the interest rate is lower than it is now currently even though it’s not that low

I was working for one of the big high tech companies when the attack on the World Trade Center happened. The stock price went in a tailspin. It had a high of around 80 and when the market was suspended it was down to ten. I knew it would definitely go up from there so the day the market reopened I emptied most of my savings account and bought shares of company stock at ten bucks a share. I tripled my money in a year.

Business on both sides

I've had deals I've made on the spur of the moment and others run from conversations years earlier
