I lost around $300 at the gambling tables. It was just for fun, win or lose. I don't take gambling seriously because the odds are against the player. In the long run, the house wins. I kept that idea firmly in mind, so I brought about $500 to the casino. Win, play on. Lose up till $500, laugh it off and go do something else permanently. It was a one time thing.
Lost $30,000 years ago in my first business venture. It was a very expensive lesson as it was money I couldn't afford to lose. Had to hold down a regular job for a couple of years to regain my financial stability. After that, did a joint venture with some partners. Made that $30k back and still doing well after all these years. Promoted into the ranks of elite.
I'm impressed by all sorts of business people who are risk takers so I can only be a employee.
