    I bought a house when I was 25 years old ( Calif ) It rapidly increased in value. I bought a 2nd home and rented it to a relative who made more than I did. He flaked on me, addiction got him. I could have paid off the mortgage on my house instead of trying to continue to ride the real estate market. I sold the 2nd house & was only able to cover the existing mortgage. Years went by & I stayed conservative, investing slowly & incurring no more debt. If I hadn’t of gotten burned with that 2nd house ? I may have done something REALLY stupid later. Some of us just have to learn from stupid mistakes.

No one ever pays attention to the overwhelming majority of cases where people who go that route end up losing. They don't usually make the effort to shout from the rooftops "Look at me! I'm a cautionary case!!" but those very few people that did succeed this way make sure to put it in your face.

At this point, he should just plan on paying off as much as he can each month and stand pat on the investment if he can pay that 20k off over the next 16 months. His losses right now are just paper losses. Eventually he will make a profit on that stock.

No matter if it was your fault or the other driver's fault.

    Been there, done that. Stocks never go the way you think it would. It is really gambling. My advice is to either cash it out and take the money and pay what is left. Other option would be to transfer to another 0% interest credit card if you have that option. This all depends on how long you want to wait but remember every time you transfer there is 3-5% fees and they will add up.

Also, I am specifically not an investor, I do not want that term applied to me ; you could say I'm an anti-investor, a speculator. "Taking a quick 3k profit" is not investing, that's speculation, that goes for this guy too, and there is nothing wrong with that, there might just be somewhat more work and risk to this than he originally anticipated. Furthermore, if you apply longer-term logic to this - then it makes all the more sense - if you "invested" at the height of past pre-crash peaks, you'd still be way in the green, so all the more yay for this guy, including by the "investor" logic.

This guy went into it without much of this, didn't consider "what if this downside happens", and here we are.
