I had 10 Bitcoin in 2011 and spent it on weed. Big regrets now.

We all make mistakes, but wow, that’s a tough one to look back on.

I didn’t buy a house in 2008 when everything was cheap. Not really a loss, but it’s a huge missed opportunity.

I was in second grade. My priorities were more about snack time than real estate.

@Ash
Opportunity cost: at least $6 million!

Same here. Should’ve bought rentals in California… you know, when I was a toddler.

Missed a chance to invest in myself back then too. Hindsight’s a killer sometimes.

I was 23 in 2008 and still didn’t buy anything. Now I just feel silly.

@Oli
At least you had a chance to think about it! I was still figuring out long division.
