    I let too many people tell me how to live my life and tried too hard for their approval for too long.

      Not fighting harder to buy a house when it was cheap. My SO hated the idea soo much. Now still living in same place I cant do jack to. And 10 years we won't have a home thanks to my grandma's stupidity and pride.

      Sometimes I wonder if i chose the wrong person. I love my SO but our life goals are as different as can be. Took 15 years to convince to my side.

      Yeah I wanted to buy a house 5 years ago, but my wife (fiance at the time) was too nervous. Home prices had risen 40% by the time she was comfortable with it.

          Waiting so long to cut off a toxic parent. Not spending more time with a good parent. Not going to therapy sooner.

            In 2018 I was offered a job managing a retreat center on the shores of Lake Superior. The job would have been to keep the place looking nice and, very occasionally, cultivate a restful space for people who needed it.

            I went and got a PhD instead. Not a huge mistake, but I’d probably have been happier with the retreat center.

                I thought about buying about a thousand bitcoins when it would have costed me a hundred bucks. Never did though.

                      I really should have learned to drive in high school when I had the chance. No money->no car->no job loops have bit me quite a lot as an adult.

                            Trusting that my guidance counselors would do their job. Not switching high schools because they didn't look very different.

                            My school refused to let me in more difficult classes I thought I needed for college even though I requested them, was recommended them by my grade school and even tested into them. I only found out recently that I test advance proficient, but they lied to me about when I was a student.

                            All because when I was in kindergarten, someone decided I had a reading disability.

                                That's interesting. Half of my friends are in successful careers without a license

                                    Not getting a job in my field after graduating. I was at a very low point in my life and let that window of opportunity go and now I feel like I can't go back because it's been quite a few years and nobody wants people like me. Oh well, I'll find something else to do, but it does sting a bit that depression robbed me of my future like that.

                                      Same here, I often find job postings asking for a driver's license for reasons. I'm happy as can be on my bike, though, I don't get the car hype.
