PTC has a thread going talking about how much we have changed. Her thread has me thinking back over the years. I start to say if I could only have that choice over again......
I find that the greatest things in my life have come from the most difficult times. I think I would probably loose everything I love if I had made a different choice.
So if you had just one decision to make over...Would you? What is it and why?
As you said, after bad times usually came a really good reward, so I don't think I'd change anything even when sometime I'd loved to skip certain chapters...

I've thought about this far more than I like. If I could change the one decision I regretted, I wouldn't have my children now. I don't kid myself, if I could change that one decision, I think my past insecurities and immaturity would have eventually cost me the greatest love of my life--he wouldn't have fond memories of me today. As it is, we parted still in love with each other and as of today--33 years to the day we met--we're talking again and very happy to be back in touch. I can't say that would have happened if I could have changed that one decision.
I don't have many personal regrets, so mine is more financial.
There was a publicly-traded stock that went through bankruptcy reorganization back in 1999. The share price was down to a nickel. I remember looking at that and thinking, "Heck, the physical assets of that company are worth more than that." And I was thhhhhiiiiiiiiiissssssss close to investing $5,000 in it.
Last year it peaked around $23, which means that $5,000 would have been worth $2,300,000 today. Of course, with the stock market tanking, it would only be worth $900,000. Chump change.
