Topic: Do you have any financial regrets ? - page 7. (Read 868 times)

Oh my... I hate myself for not buying that apartment every time I think about it.

Life is about choices and we all are on the path led by our choices. It's not easy to talk about life regrets in general because we are/were in quite different situations. To make this thread easier, we just focus on the regrets in finances. I believe many of them can be lessons to learn from. I'll start first. Over a decade ago, I was living in a mega city of my country. At the time, the city was already a metropolitan place where you can meet all people over the world. Of course, the land was scarce and the price of housing was pretty high, nomal people could not afford to buy an apartment, let alone a house. However, one friend of mine was taking to a suburban area for an apartment, super nice but the neighborhood was not fully developed yet. The total cost of that departemtn was about $100,000. Well, I did not have that much money at that time but if I borrowed some from my parents and it was not a problem. Maybe because I was too young and did not get along with my parents at the time, I did not ask for that so I refused the offer and let go of that apartment. A few years later, the suburban area became part of the CBD and the housing price was going up insanely. Today, that apartment I missed is worth at least $1.2 million. Oh my... I hate myself for not buying that apartment every time I think about it.

a situation like this is experienced by many people and I think this is not a regret because what is passed is something without doing anything.
the mindset that makes me believe it is not a regret so that nothing turbulent happens in the future.
for regrets that have been missed, of course, almost all humans experience it, but how to react to it so that it is not affected because of regret.
what you do to continue to collect Bitcoins regardless of the past situation is a good example.

I personally also think the same thing that what has been missed I will never turn into a regret so that there is no feeling that I will be tricked into doing things in the future.

When we're younger, we have seen a lot of opportunities but we missed it due to the financial situations that we've been in. We're not able to provide even for ourselves but then, if that time comes again and we've got savings and other assets ready to be sold and very liquid, we would take those opportunities. The same as mine and probably with the others too, seeing the price of bitcoin and ethereum at a low price but since I am not able during that thing and I am even making barely for living, that opportunity was missed. Until I see the price of bitcoin going higher and higher every time a year is passing but I can't help with my situation so, I just keep on accumulating no matter what is the situation now.
