Some lessons you learn from your parents. Others you learn from moving states with no job, filing for bankruptcy (twice), or finding out why your waxing lady really means "wait 24 hours."
This week we're sharing those moments where life kicked our ass into wisdom. Common sense advice like "trust your gut" and “don’t spend more than you make” somehow wasn't obvious until after everything went wrong.
Maybe our chaos will save you some trouble. But who are we kidding - the best stories come from learning things the hard way.

Memorable moments

And the world around you is like you need to have all these things and so you just keep spending and spending and then you're in another hole and credit card debt.”
“ I look at my friends and no knocks to my friends, but I'm like, how are they affording all these vacations and doing that? Like, I'm barely keeping my house together. Like I'm, these house repairs are killing me.”
“ You worked so hard to get Christmas together. And then, it's over in seconds. But then the letdown is real. You kind of go through those Christmas blues.”
