10. I only wish I had been that smart
I remember about six years ago I had a few grand in the bank - not big savings, but the most I'd ever had. The Euro was going for about $0.85 then, and I thought about putting that money into Euros. I didn't, and very soon after I wished I'd had, as it's seemingly becoming normal for the Euro to go for about $1.50 - I can't think of any other investment that would have had that kind of return (not even to mentioned interest earned). The only plus side is that I've been paid in pounds for the past two years so that when I go back to the US, things seem cheap.
