That i took? Because i can't think of anything really detrimental that i took. But i bet really hard on the stock market in the beginning of 2009 after it bottomed. While i was younger, then to me, it was a no-brainer. I remember my mother telling me it was a bad move to make. I told her after the meltdown of 2008 there was only one direction the stock market could go at that point. And i was right. I made a 44% return that year. Which is the largest percentage return i've ever gotten in a single year.

My mother is right about most things. And i value her advice, except when it comes to investing.😆

The worst advice I have ever read has been on here, and there are literally 1000s of examples of it. Luckily they are usually anonymous users, which most people don't take seriously anyway.

I had multiple people tell me to “make it work” when my girlfriend cheated on me.
If you tell someone this bullsh*t, you deserve incurable chronic dysentery. Especially if your sh*tty advice doesn’t survive the gender swap test.

My uncle told me not to buy real estate or a bunch of classic cars in the 90’s. I would’ve made a killing.

Something along the lines of: "stay in your lane".
