This thread resonates alot as I am almost 50. I have lost my job twice throughout my career. Each time I found another new role based on my qualifications. I am grateful for that !! Any regrets so far ? Not alot as I have been very frugal for the past 25 yrs. This is something I inherited from my parents. I drive a Toyoda when I can afford a conti ..but do I feel deprived ? Nope, as material wealth doesnt bring me satisfaction…I cherished a simple life..I wanna go back to the 80s when life is much simpler back then …
