I would have to say my worst idea for a loan was when I bought a brand new car a few years back. I still have the car and I'm almost done paying it off, but it's been a huge financial burden.

the dumbest thing i ever took out a loan for is a guitar.
I had never played and after playing guitar hero for about a month decided i wanted to play for real. So i went to the Willis music in the local mall and seen their 'financing available' sign and went a little overboard. I spent $800 on guitar, case, and a few small extras. It was 36% interest which was not pointed out when i was signing. but i ended up paying it off early and in total spent over $1100.

I borrowed 3000 once to invest in the comodities market, I lost all but 300 of it. Somethings you learn the hard way.
