Harmless Habits That Backfired Later

People who are 50+, what is a 'harmless' habit you had in your 20s that ended up ruining your

health or finances later in life? One user commented: Not quite in my 20's - as a teen,

I used tanning beds for a couple of years. It was socially unacceptable to

be the color of printer paper in the 80's, and people made fun of me a lot,

so it seemed like a good idea at the time. I had skin cancer twice this year.

It's hard for me to believe tanning beds are still around with what we know about them now.

They're absolute skin cancer factories. Another user commented: Not wearing hearing protection at concerts,

movies in theaters, on planes, other loud venues. Tinnitus sucks and NEVER STOPS.
