8 Things I've Learned From My Past
1. Not to eat my emotions. Okay, so I haven't learned this yet, but I'm hoping to.

3. Not to spend money I don't have. This has taken a VERY long time, but I'm finally getting the hang of it.

I totally watch Real World/Road Rule Challenges too. The current one, on the Island is very interesting. I love the different challenges.
Glad to see that you know about buying low and selling high. Now if we could only somehow pass that on to 90% of the clients we talk to!
