      Whether or not to ask the hottest girl in school out on a date in the 5th grade. Once
      I made that decision and realized bad things don't happen whether she says yes or no, and the idiots afraid to ask her are much worse off than the people who do take a calculated risk (whether it succeeds or fails)... It set up my mindset for the rest of my life.

      Thanks Kerri... wherever you are now.

            Whether or not I should sell my house, cash out my retirement, max out my credit cards, take a massive loan, and spend all of my savings investing in my business.

            I did.

            Worked out fine. ;-)

                  A lot of people here on GFY mock me for this, but the best thing I ever did was joining the United States Marine Corps.

                  I left home at age 16, dropped out of high school, and less than two years later I was homeless, a drug addict, and getting by on petty theft. I was in a downward spiral and no one was able and / or willing to help me. Joining the Marines was part of the plan; Both my father and his father were Marines. My high school had a great culinary program, including a full restaurant open to the public, I was already night manager of a local restaurant, and from there I wanted to be a cook in the Marines for four years, then on to a culinary college, and then perhaps go to work in Vegas as a chef.

                  Life got in way, I left home and dropped out of high school, and hit rock bottom.

                  The Marines changed my life, and I still apply what I learned there every day. I don't sit in bed and say "Crap, I don't want to get out" but instead I bound of bed ready to tackle the day.

                    Most of the decisions that effected my life the most were just small ones at the time. its funny how a number of small decisions can lead you on a completely different path without even realizing it until you're already there.
                    you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                      When I was 21 my dad died of cancer. We had brought him home and had attending Hospice care there. The moment he stopped breathing mom wanted CPR performed. I tried to tell her that if we did revive him it would only be temporary, and he would likely be in pain and not even aware of anything else. Anyway, she insisted and I acquiesced, though I was hoping to be unsuccessful. I got my wish. Although I know that I was right, I still feel guilty about hoping for him to just slip away.

                        Same for me. Biggest crossroads in my life was joining the Navy at 21. I wasn't going to college, so I needed to get out of the house.

                          Having multiple streams of revenue. When one fails, the other is there to pick me up.

                          Selling my decent house a few years ago was by far the hardest and best thing I've done. We downgraded to a townhouse, wife and I picked up the slack and are on our way to owning our dream house in a few months. We learned some good lessons in the downsize, owned up to mistakes and lately have life by the balls.

                          My next goal is to see how fast I can pay off the mortgage by adding extra payments to it, all the while still having enough money invested in the future and having a little fun on the side too .

                            My Father died when I was 22 after a long bout with asbestos poisoning. As a family we did everything we could to save him, including experimental treatments. In the end, he had a tracheotomy and couldn't speak. he was in the hospital in total misery. I was the last to see him alive.

                            When we got the call early the next day - we were getting ready to get to the hospital - it was devastating but part of me was relieved his misery was over. Before he went into the hospital I had to help him in the bathroom (even carrying him sometimes) and inject him with medication. Believe me, for a young man in his early twenties it was pretty rough times.

                            So when he died I was relieved. I didn't feel guilty because I saw the pain he was going through. Don't feel guilty about wanting your Dad to slip away as painlessly as possible. That's an indication of how much you loved him and he would be proud of you for having those feelings. You did the right thing.

                            Besides, when you see him again, whenever this weird life on Earth is over, he can thank you himself.

                                Quitting a job where I was in charge that paid good money and had room for advancement to go into this area of work.
                                Best decision I ever made, lots more money, lots more fun and lots of great times.

                                  Quitting university to devote myself to X Optimizers and X Copywriters. Paid off in the end, but yeah - not something that I could commit myself to overnight. Certainly took a lot of convincing.

                                    This is good advice really.

                                    In 2004 or so I started my own little blog network and a few other projects only a handful of people know about. When I was unemployed during the recession, these Internet properties came in handy for some extra cash when times were tight.

                                            Nobody mocks you for joining them.
                                            They mock you for bringing that up too often (in their eyes).

                                            Next time try to understand simple yet distinct differences like that

                                                  I left home at age 16, dropped out of high school, and less than two years later I was homeless, a drug addict, and getting by on petty theft. I was in a downward spiral and no one was able and / or willing to help me. Joining the Marines was part of the plan; Both my father and his father were Marines. My high school had a great culinary program, including a full restaurant open to the public, I was already night manager of a local restaurant, and from there I wanted to be a cook in the Marines for four years, then on to a culinary college, and then perhaps go to work in Vegas as a chef.

                                                  Life got in way, I left home and dropped out of high school, and hit rock bottom.

                                                  The Marines changed my life, and I still apply what I learned there every day. I don't sit in bed and say "Crap, I don't want to get out" but instead I bound of bed ready to tackle the day.
                                                  Before I opened this thread, I was thinking the same thing.

                                                  I can't say it was the best or worst decision but it was the biggest.

                                                  Lightning from the sky - thunder from the sea.

                                                    It may sound odd, but making the choice to give up my apartment and not have a permanent place of residence. My early 20's were pretty wild. I was writing for a music magazine they were sending me all over the place to interview bands, write pieces ect. It got to the point where I was only home for a week or so every couple of months. I had always had a stable place to live, but decided it wasn't worth paying the rent on a place I was rarely at.

                                                    It was a strange feeling being without a permanent home and not really having somewhere to "land." I could fit everything I owned in a couple of suitcases and I have to admit it was actually pretty liberating. At times it was scary, but it taught me that I can take care of myself and that material things are just things. They don't define you and in the end they likely just chain you to a specific lifestyle or existence that you may not even want.

                                                    I learned things about myself during that 4 year period that I still practice today about 20 years later.
