What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?  What is your biggest regret?

Wow those are good questions.

My biggest accomplishment so far is probably buying my house all on my own.  There was a lot of issues at the very end with money and the bank wanting more money than agreed to (I bought a foreclosure) and they told me I couldn't have the house, even though all my stuff was packed up into a moving van waiting to move in that day!  But I got through it and now I absolutely love my house!

I always say that I really don't regret anything...but I think there are always things I can look back and on could've done a little different.  I guess I wish I was more honest in my relationships when I was younger.  It worked out great because I met a great guy that I'm marrying but I always protected myself first which wasn't a good way to go about things.

Greatest accomplishment: Professional: graduating from college, passing the CPA exam, and landing a really good job. I worked full-time during the day and went to school at night and fought tooth-and-nail for all if it. Personal: completing RCIA last year. It has improved my life in so many ways. Biggest regret: not having more confidence in myself when I was younger and I regret a few bad relationships...but in the end, all of it made me who I am today and I'm not sure I would change anything.

Oooh, very deep...

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?  

Becoming a responsible adult.  Being able to balance work with raising a baby.  

What is your biggest regret?

Not visiting my mom enough when she was in a home after her stroke in May 2009.  She died in December 2009, and I still feel like I never got to say goodbye.

Greatest Accomplishment:  Taking the big leap of leaving the restaurant industry to the finance industry without really knowing much about it.  If I didn't do that I would not be where I am today. 

Regret:  I can look back and say I wish I changed this or I wish I didn't do that but then I would be saying that I am not happy with who I am now.  Those things in the past made me who I am and I like me.  So no big regrets at all.

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment? So far it would be maintaining a 4.0 in my Masters program.  I've never done that well in school before so this is a really big deal for me. 

What is your biggest regret? I have no regrets, everything has made me who I am or gotten me where I am today.  Sure I could have said or done something differently but what's done is done.  Each day is a another chance to turn it all around.

Biggest Accomplishment- buying my house. We bought a forclosed home, paid in full. So having a house with no mortage is a huge accomplishment for us.

Biggest Regret- my degree choice. I wish i would have chosen something else. i'm not happy with my degrees but can't afford to go back to school- i'm SOL.

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment? Greatest accomplishment is hard but I guess it would be getting through a major surgery and a breakup at the same time and coming out a better person at the end. 

What is your biggest regret? I have no regrets, everything happens for a reason. I really think everything that happened in my life has made me the person I am today. Without those things I would be a different person.

Greatest Accomplishments: That I'm about to graduate from college, and that I'm taking strides towards going to graduate school.  Also that I was able to work at a year long internship.

Biggest Regret:  I don't think I have one, really.  I sometimes regret that I've allowed myself to fall into a bit of credit card debt, but it isn't a HUGE amount and I'm working on fixing it.  I just swore to myself that I'd never overuse my card, and I did

In Response to Tell Us Tuesday:
What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?   I am getting close to finishing my PhD (sometime in the next couple of months), and when that happens, I definitely think that will be it.  The others (you know, that I've actually already accomplished) are also related to my education - finishing my bachelor's degree with no debt, and earning a fellowship for graduate school.

 What is your biggest regret?  While everything has turned out for the best, I regret the way I treated my college boyfriend when we were together.  In hindsight, I didn't love him, I just liked having him around, and as a result, he put a lot more into our relationship than I did.  That's a poor way to treat someone, and I should have just broken up with him.
