I've surely made lots of HUGE mistakes in a short period of time, including but not limited to gambling, over spending, spending on having fun instead of re investing. One of the hardest things is holding on to money once you have it. I'm one of those people who's either flat broke or has an overloaded bank account. There's no medium lol.
So I guess now that I've thought this through a little bit, to clarify what I'm trying to get out of this thread is, if you could go back in time with a small wad of cash what would you do with it then to make your financial situation better now?

Again nothing. The lessons I have learned are far more important then the money I have lost. I have had a biz with 100 employees and I have been bankrupted. If I had never been bankrupted I would have never learned how to have a worst-case-scenario and I would not have appreciated slow raise of income. I would not have learned to put important stuff on paper and I would not have learned that revenge only costs. I could go bank in time and prevent me being bankrupt back then...but I would still have lost the money later on cause I did not have the tools/skills to hold on to the money. So what I am saying here is...go take risks...go fall flat on your face...and then sit back and learn where you went wrong.
