Posted by saggurl88Oh dear! If anybody ever knew what is going g to happen to real estate…to me it’s like a lottery or casino.
My biggest regret is not buying a house in my late 20's.
I spent tons on vacations instead. I don't mind it now, cause the housing market in California is ridiculous, but had I bought in my late 20's, my mortgage would've been a third of the cost of my current rent and I would've had even more money saved.
I never had any adult examples to look up to, so I really just didn't know how inflation and costs of living worked. I can always move to a more affordable place and buy, but I like living in California.

Unless you having more than one house - it’s all the same. If you having more and renting out - headache is never ending.
But here on East Ciast we have NO idea how do you live in CA. It’s insanely expensive isn’t it?click to expand

Although, no matter how you slice it, I do not regret buying my house when I did.
As for you, you did the best you knew how with what you were given in life & good for you in doing so!click to expand
Posted by Jan12girlSorry about your friend 😔
My greatest regret is not meeting my best friend’s family when she passed. I was in my own state of shock and grief and had no courage to see them. I realised it too late that meeting them would have been the only thing that could give me some peace . They adored me and I know what they would have thought of me , that I didn’t care. Can’t blame them . She also wanted to come to my home first before going to her parents for vacation (during which she fell sick )but I was selfishly busy with my own things . May be things would have been different if she had come first to my place. I also regret the most that my ph was not reachable for a week because I was travelling. During which she fell sick . Her dad told my dad that she was talking about me when she she fell so terribly ill. I was not reachable. I couldn’t even talk to her because I was so careless. She was not just any friend , she was family .I wish I had heard her voice just once. I couldn’t even say good bye. Losing her scared me for life . I am always so scared of losing people .That thought never leaves me.
I have some other regrets but after talking about it , rest all feels so lame.

I should have learned a trade at 17. I think everything would have fallen in place if I did. Still not too late just a lot harder.

Monogamy. Huge wastes of time.
If I could have a do over, I'd have my two sons and never get into a ltr ever again in my lifetime.
I'd keep it simple with six months max and then move the hell on. lol

Sorry about your friend 😔
I can only imagine what that felt/ must feel like, and the guilt associated with it.
I’m not close to many people, but my bestie ( I have 2), but feel this love for the Virgo that I can’t shake, even when I want to. I didn’t speak to her for a little over a yr (due to a falling out) and I had so many dreams about her in that time, that something bad happened to her that it gave me anxiety.
I prayed every night for god to protect her and keep her safe.
It was my biggest fear, when we didn’t talk, and knew if anything did happen to her that it’d be my biggest regret (not putting my stubbornness aside and rectifying things).
I honestly think I’d go crazy if she dies before me.
I say this to say, I can empathize with what you must feel. The thought alone, makes me anxious.
I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone.
Thank you .
The friend that I spoke about was also a Virgo. In fact I also had 2 besties, both Virgos . The other one is my best friend for 25 years now.click to expand

Posted by HypnotoadYouth is truly wasted on the young.
Not going all in on my sport when I was younger, letting self doubt stop me. Not realizing how little time you have in your youth and wasting it. Not doing everything I could to go to university when I was younger. Not being a massive ho in my early 20s...
Posted by LostthoughtsI feel you 💜

My only regrets are not learning and understanding my mistakes.
Putting peoples words and my own fears ahead of my intuition. It locks me into a state of indecisiveness.
Lost a lot of time and opportunities that kept me in a state of mediocrity. Which is stupid I know I have great luck, I always get by and find a way.

Honestly another regret is wasting my twenties to find a husband and I'm glad I didn't, should have just enjoyed dating and working on myself, funny how society can dictate what you need to do with your life most of my friends got married for the wrong reasons and they just lost who they were, finding the right person takes time, and believe it or not most married people are stuck with the wrong person and they can do nth about it cause there r kids involved.click to expand

Then when you find your husband they're gonna start asking " where are the kids?"

Posted by AbbyNormalDon’t regret, Abbey. Re-invent!
38 and my biggest regret is not finding my way with grief earlier. For letting drugs cloud my mind and letting my priorities get out of whack. I lost the love of my life so far bc I couldn’t get my shit together quicker. I kick myself every day for fucking up that relationship.
Mostly it’s not taking the time to get to know myself early on and instead hopping from relationship to relationship further losing myself with every one. I didn’t listen when people told me to take time for myself, I didn’t do the therapy. I just didn’t try to be better until it was too late, for that at least.
And to go deeper and earlier, I regret listening to anyone who said I couldn’t do something. I regret letting everyone around me bring me down. I regret not being more resolute in myself. I regret taking anything personally.
Posted by LadyNeptuneAgreed. Idk if my MBA has really gotten me somewhere
I'm with @saggurl88 on this one. I do regret not buying a home a few years ago.
I was sold the lie that you need 20% down and have to have savings before you purchase. The reality is waiting to save that 20% down and properties raising more than double that percentage meant your down payment doesn't go as far and you are back to square one. You may have more $ $ to throw down, but the dollar gets you less because you waited.
And I do kinda regret paying for a higher education. In my field its not what you know but who you know. If I had just started working for the right people I may have reached the point I'm at now sooner.
I am 34
Posted by GenericUsernameI think everyone should blow at least one paycheck
I've had so many bad things happening to me, but I can't say I regret anything because it made me who I am now. I'd say I'd always wished that I am somebody else, that I was made differently from the start, but somehow I always had to be true to myself because what's the point of not living through your experience.
Maybe the reckless spending and not being able to save money. That's something I wish I never did. Now I'd be in a better position.

But doesn’t the idea of constantly having to start over with a new person so often drain you?
Starting over with someone new is draining.
But would I rather do that after six months or ten years?
If the end result is going to be the same, why should I bother?
I'd rather have a dozen six month relationships with a bunch of single time in between.....then one decade long relationship that ends up the exact same way.click to expand

My biggest regret is not having any regrets. I know that sounds stupid on the surface, but I truly regret nothing. Maybe when my parents die I'll truly feel regret. Maybe I will regret not hugging my mother more, or mending things with my dad, or telling my step dad how much I truly appreciate everything he did to help me in life. Maybe I will regret not being able to open up more, or able to express how much I deeply appreciate the people I love. Maybe I will regret living my life as a truly cold rock that just exists. Or maybe I will forever feel nothing, and forever live in a somewhat numb state of mind till I die.
