haha yup i think we all regret that one… I remember someone doing a guest post on this blog here 10 years ago and thinking “$100 is so high! no way i’d ever buy a coin at that!” and then just a handful of month ago I buy a fraction when valued at $60,000 lol…. But similar to you I would have sold it long ago anyways once it turned a profit so not like we would have reaped it entirely (and would still be kicking ourselves!).

About 1990 I bought a stick built 20 x 24 garage that a guy had cut into 8 foot sections with a chainsaw for $1,000. I was going to reconstruct it on my property as I was in dire need of a garage. It sat for 3 years in a large pile under blue tarps and became mice infested and rotten. I burned it. That $1.000 compounded at 8% is over $13,000 up in smoke! Wish I understood the power of compound interest back in the day.

My biggest financial regret was marrying the wrong person the first time around. He could spend all his money and all my money before I even knew we had it! Learned to look for different traits the second time around.

My biggest financial regret was the keeping up with the Jones’ syndrome I had before the Great Recession. So much credit card debt! Ugh!

One financial regret I wish I could erase is cashing out whatever I had saved in my employer retirement accounts every time I hopped around from company to company in my career instead of rolling it over and letting it compound
