This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

This is a QotW answer Ah, those wonderful rising house values...
My ex made the expensive mistake of turning into an abusive drunken neanderthal shortly after we bought a relatively expensive (for the time) house back in the nineties. After much unpleasantness I eventually managed to persuade him to move out. I thought I'd made an expensive mistake (see how I keep it on topic?) when I had to buy his share of the house for what seemed at the time like a vast (4 figure) sum. I struggled to make ends meet for a while while he lived it up for a few months on the money I'd bought him out with. A few years down the line my house now has equity well into 6 figures and he lives with his parents. :)
