inSpent $600 on a certification course that was completely useless in the field
Used to think all certs were just pieces of paper that proved you could sit still. Then I took a lean construction course that actually showed me how to lay out a job site to cut wasted steps. That one paid for itself in a week. This PM cert you took sounds like the opposite, all theory and no dirt under the fingernails. Makes me wonder if these course designers ever set foot on an active job site.

inTwo years of carpet stretching and still missing the kicker angle
Buddy of mine tried stretching his living room carpet last summer and ended up with a seam that looked like a roller coaster. Had to call a pro in to fix it and the guy just shook his head at the flat angle marks. You ever notice how the old timers make it look so easy?

inSwitched from a $60 monthly gym membership to a $20 climbing gym pass in Portland
Read an article that said climbing works different muscle groups than typical gym stuff, something about how it targets stabilizer muscles you don't even realize you have. That explains why my forearms feel like noodles after a session, I never got that from any chest press machine. You might miss leg press or something at first but the trade off is worth it for not staring at a wall while running.
