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.

10 year car kira good la dude. You buy second hand conti within 2-3 years your bills will be higher than your car purchase price even Japanese bound to have things like arms bush mounting belts chain radiator alternator ac compressor so the car if below 100k 10 years good dy. The CC part we all make mistakes. But I never defaulted but times I just cover the bill and wipe out potential saving never went to total red.

Biggest mistake though is buying a house that you can't afford that's the only one mistake I regret last time.
