My financial "train wreck" isn't anything extraordinary. It's really more of a "bicycle wreck". This January I signed up for a 1 year contract for a gym membership after I was all pumped up from writing my resolutions. I thought to myself, $10 a week is nothing, it'll be great! Well 6 months later and I still haven't gone to said gym, but have paid $240, and have another $240 to go. Being a recent grad this adds up. I never realized what the full cost of this membership would be. If I would have only calculated the full price of it in January I know that my decision would have been different. Cool site you've got! Cheers, Flint Alright, I’ll be brave enough to get some commenting started. My financial “train wreck” isn’t anything extraordinary. It’s really more of a “bicycle wreck”.
