Biggest Sacrifices You Have Made?

Yesterday I sacrificed the chance to buy hot dogs at special sale price and instead chose to try to eat healthier.

Have you made a big sacrifice or looking at possibly making one? Curious of your curiosity.

I’ve sacrificed a better social/love life to train mma. Lots of drugs and partying I want to do but don’t as well. Lost a couple friends, and missed out on a bunch of activities. It’s all good though

Not getting married and having kids at a younger age because I wasn’t “ready” from a career standpoint.

when I was “ready” the quality of women available at that age I feel was worse.

The good ones I passed by, are all gone and the left overs are just that.

leftovers.

How old are you talking here?
 
I've sacrificed many company paid hours hanging out here.

Did you just say that ignoring social life to train mma is a sactifice?

When I was 18 & I was just about to start college I decided that I'd outgrown the comic book collection that I'd spent almost nine years building. I had about 5000 comics. The most valuable of which was my early Marvel comics. I had complete or near-complete runs of titles like AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, FANTASTIC FOUR, THE AVENGERS, UNCANNY X-MEN, DAREDEVIL, THE HULK & so on. All of which were worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Anyhow, I became obsessed with the idea that I needed a new car for college & the quickest, easiest way for me to reach that goal was to sell off my comic collection for the cash for the new car. But when I talked to my parents about it they tried like hell to talk me out of it because they knew how much my collection was worth & that it was only going to increase in value. Plus, they knew that I'd wind up regretting it. New car or not.

So, long story short. I didn't listen to my parents & because I was in a hurry to get that new car, I sold my collection to a local dealer who only gave me about a quarter of what it was worth. So, I sacrificed nearly a decade of love & effort that went into building that collection for the quick fix of getting the car before classes started at college. Something that I began to regret after only about a month. It took that amount of time for me to realize that I'd made a bad, hasty decision because my student loans & grants came in & I could have just used them for the car.

I thought about beginning a new comic collection but I just couldn't do it because it would never be as good as what I had. So, I went for a couple of decades without even looking at a comic book. Then one day I decided to go to my local comic shop & begin a new collection. But this one with much more modest goals because all those comics that I used to have had skyrocketed up in value over the years. That collection that I sold for a few thousand bucks would be worth enough to purchase a very nice house. And then some. So, I just focused on a few titles & certain runs of issues in eventually building up the 3000 book collection that I now own.

Actually, now that I've written this whole thing I've realized that it doesn't really fit the theme of the thread. It's far more of a biggest regret thread. But, what the hell, I'll still post it.

Damn, after all the Marvel movie madness and such, any guess what it would be worth today?
 
I lived a year of my life in Afghanistan, and 3 months in Djibouti/Somalia

Honestly Somalia is way worse than Afghanistan
 
Not to better myself, but spent 3 months in the UK over Christmas and New Year a couple of years ago while my other half was here on his own. Broke my heart. I spent NYE with his sister and brother in law for NYE in England. Not much fun at all.
 
I was going to donate blood one time, but stayed home and yanked one out instead. #NotAllHeroesWearCapes.

I don't have any sort of any exact figure in mind ( it would still be too painful to sit down & calculate one ) but somewhere between $200,000 & $500,000. Probably more because I had a whole lot of early, key issues in excellent shape.
