No regrets that I can think of, there are always wish I hads or that would have been a better choice. Over all life is what you put into it I firmly believe that.

Every choice has consequences, good or bad. On a scale of 1 to 10, my biggest regrets rate about a 3, with maybe one or two 4s. Let's see. Investing in tech stocks in the late '90s. Not selling off fast enough in 2008. Those are things I could have done that would have had a positive impact on me and my family.
On a slightly different note, I am now living life specifically with the idea of avoiding regrets in the future. I will not regret not travelling because I'm doing it. I will not regret not having a classic convertible because I bought one. I may regret doing those things when I'm 90 and broke, but not now. Refer to first sentence.

If I had to pick something it would be being hard-headed through most of my adult life. Grew up fairly poor. Got a huge break in college sports. Messed it up, but I got degrees. Forgot where I came from. Had multiple older male and female friends who tried to help me reach my potential, but I wouldn't listen. Thought money = happiness, was the true measure of success and was all that really mattered.
Then ... one day, I got bored lol. I'm sure it had been building for years, but it was like an overnight change. Found happiness. The only regrets I've had since are the repeated times I've heard, "You know you could have been this happy 10 years ago?" Nope, I couldn't have been. I had to do it the hard way.
