I wish I started working right after college ended, but I indulged the neet life for a few years. Had I started working sooner, I'd have started investing sooner, and I for sure would've discovered BTC sooner and all that would've lead me to retire sooner.

Doing valuable internships over the summer or doing a job related to what career I wanted to pursue while in college. I taught tennis over the summer's I was in college which was pretty sweet but did nothing as far as getting ahead with a career.

Most of my emotional and mental maturation happened from 27-30 so I can't drag my former self too much.

When I was younger I had an obsession with being better than people to feel good about my self - now I no longer care, but I still prefer being effective at something.

I didn't intentionally do anything that I regret, but I graduated from college in 2008 and into probably the worst job market I'll see in my lifetime. Then went to Law School for a year before deciding that I had absolutely no interest in actually practicing law.

In reality, it would be nice to have just started my company at age 22 and keep building. But there's no way I actually had the knowledgge and experience to make this work without working sales in a Fortune 500 company for a few years first, so I probably did the best with my given situation that I possibly could.

Nothing. I made all the right choices and I have a perfect life.

You're either lying or you have some strong beliefs about your self.

I wish I did my best at 20 at everything to be the best version of myself. I didn’t learn that until well into my 20s. I was pretty lazy and complacent at 20 with very average goals. We all have our own path tho. I am very content with my current self.

If it makes you feel any better I tried to be my best since I was 16 and I still failed miserably at attaining material success - even now I try but nothing goes my way

[DuracellBunny]

I really like my current life and the journey, good and bad, got me here. If knowing that if I did what I had done, would give me the life I currently have, I would make exactly the same decisions all over again.

I hear you, but being your best doesn’t mean material success tho. I just means you do your best and are motivated to be top tier. Whatever happens, happens.

Share your story!

started... golf

stopped... overthinking and being scared of rejection.

[mchabs]

Wish I started investing earlier on, even just the S&P500. I had no idea what i was doing though.

Wish I bought a house pre-2020 when I could I actually afford it, but I was too busy blowing $ on trips to Miami and chit.

Also wish I started dating chicks I actually liked and not chicks because they were "hot" or because my friends edged me on. Wasted plenty of time pursuing dumb sloots I didn't actually care about.

Yeah I was lying. I'm a huge loser.
