Maybe for sharing and learning here.

My mistake was not learning to save up earlier in my career.  back then was a jolly CC user , have expensive hobbies and always travel for fun to and from (i'm guessing u call YOLO these days). Dunno all my money went even though worked a long time.

I wish I realized and be more financially aware sooner than later.

Second mistake is buying a car and house that is not affordable  .

I wish back then I used a cheaper car, as depreciation kills the value and fast forward 10 years all sort of problems came out .

Although the house I bought is in a decent location, I felt that it was overpriced. Back then it was all the rage for "Property investment". If I had the chance, I would undo this mistake by not buying a house at all, and instead just park the savings in gold and use it to buy house for own self stay .

What did you do that you regretted? Past cannot change anymore, perhaps we could state this as a reminder for ourselves.

I trust many of the people here saying they regret not learning/buying Bitcoin at $1, $10 ,$1000.

Trust me, even if the price $100k today drops back to $1 for just 24 hours, you won't be buying it.

At those early days, the daily fluctuation is double digit %. Will you dare to buy at that time? $1 pump to $10, you will butt itchy and sell everything.

Even the price today (~$107K) is considered cheap if you buy it and HODL it for the next 30 years. By then, it may hit a few mil $?

30 years later, when it hits $5mil, you will say the same thing again saying that in year 2025 BTC was $100k I didn't buy....regret.

Regret is useless. Only taking action and clicking the BUY button will change your life.

Update 26/07 - BTC price is $117k lmao.

I wouldn't classify not buying Crypto or whatever shares as financial mistake. hindsight is 20/20.

I think most people lump hindsight and regret. Both are different.

Regret, I don't have much but "should had" hindsight - a long list laugh.gif
