What is your biggest regret from your early life?

Question

Nathan Covey · Accepted Answer

I'll start with mine:

Not learning how to code.

I wish I would have started in high school, but I'm starting now so better late than never!

Udaya Sri · Answer

Not making time for hobbies.

Cora Genevieve Holloway · Answer

Starting young definitely would have been ideal, but like you, I'm trying to make up for lost time now. Never too late to learn something new and valuable! I've been using resources like FreeCodeCamp and Codecademy to learn web dev basics. The #100DaysOfCode challenge has also been motivating. We got this! 💪

Rachel Marie Thompson · Answer

Not starting to invest early. I had some money saved up in my early 20s but was too scared to invest it in the market. If I had just consistently invested a little each month back then, that money would have grown so much by now with compound interest! But at least I eventually got started and am investing regularly now. The best time to start investing was 10 years ago, the second best time is today!

Rahul Parmar · Answer

I am not taking more risks or embracing opportunities sooner.

Answer

Not buying Bitcoin back in 2010 when I first heard about it. If I had put even just $100 in, I'd be retired on a beach right now instead of grinding away at my 9-5! Oh well, trying to make smarter investment moves now but nothing will probably ever come close to that missed opportunity.
