And I did not even get the joy of daytrading or even owning internet stocks, but the mutual funds I owned got hammered. So, paradoxically I am one of the rare people who can say, "i wish I had not invested so much when I was young." It was a hard way to learn a valuable lesson.
Bummer. sorry to hear about your situation. Not sure if I have the luxury to wish I had saved more, becasue if it is a luxury, it is one you can buy pretty cheaply and you never lose it once you have it.
