A few years ago, I lost $3000 to a Nigerian scam artist. I still get depressed that I could be so stupid.

I'm always amazed how many people get conned out of that money. You weren't the only one.

You are lucky they got only 3 G's. Some people loose many times this much. Even really smart people get taken if the con is smooth enough. I'll bet you won't get fooled again! Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it IS too good to be true. Think of the money you lost as tuition to a really tough school. You graduated!

What about the Bernard L. Madoff fraudulent $50 billion Ponzi scheme? He conned some of the best educated and brightest people on the planet for way, way more money than you lost. This should make you feel better by comparison. You know, "Hey, I only lost $3000; they lost $50,000,000,000." Don't you feel better now?

Yeah, like it is supposed to make him feel better because somebody has got it worse than he does?
Remove this stupid comment

Yup. When you have it bad, it always makes you feel a little better, in a sad kind of way, whenever you see someone who has it worse than you do. You feel bad for them, and you think, "Thank goodness I don't have it that bad!" See what I mean? But think of the Last Guy... nobody's got it worse than that guy. What's he supposed to do to feel better?

Being stupid is not always a structural defect. Things could be worse. You could be stupid and broke. That would be worst thing, unless you were also sick too. Just think how much worse off you would be if you were stupid, broke and sick. Nothing could be worse than this, unless you were also ugly too. Stupid, broke, sick and ugly. What could be worse than this?

Hey guy, don't feel bad, how would you like to have an ex-wife who gets a house, a car, and all the money she secretly stashed from YOUR paychecks for years. Grrrr!

They try to scam me all the time too... but you have to be a complete numb skull not to know any better.

I lost money on a vacation deal because the salesman lied thru his teeth. I complained to his sales manager and he laughed. It's been long enough, they will start getting their tomorrow and for the rest of my life. Revenge is sweeter than honey.

Forget about it, it's not worth worrying about. Money is not what it is important in life. If that's the worst thing you've done you're doing pretty damn good.
