Guys,

I was wondering if anyone does what i do. After a bad financial/business decision i tend to punish myself by cutting some personal expenses, no matter that i can afford to keep them. And when i say cut i mean 50 % at least for couple of
months.

You think this adds additional value when trying to make sure you are learning from mistakes? Or is it such method would increase the inner fear of doing stuff and make you more passive?
