I love how you pick apart each one! I feel like some regrets are inevitable, though, unless we all become psychic. I can think of lots of regrets that I already have — not asking my grandma more about her younger days when she was still “with it” enough to remember, showing up late to my final ballet recital in high school (oops), not opening a Roth IRA when I was in my first teenage job. Of course, not focusing on regrets can help us all lead happier lives.

That’s a one hell of a crazy story. Went out with a bang at least. ?

As for being a workaholic… For now I would say so, I don’t seem to mind getting off work at 1am… (Even though I have enough to retire.) For now… Maybe just for now.

In reply to Financial Orchid. Lol I know right. I heard in Japan the working environment and culture are crazy tough. Does China have anything like a pension or 401k plan in their system at all???

Great list. Now that I’m older and have noticed how the self made entrepreneurs live, or maybe it’s a cultural thing running on Asian blood, I think the over working attitude is particularly prevelant for parents who are self employed or work in environments with no pension so there’s the constant worry of what about the “old me” if I don’t hustle now?

No surprise all that hard work goes into real estate. For all the workers without a company pension, 401k, or live in countries with no social security, buying houses in stable westernized cities is their only self funded pension plan.

Tell someone in Asia to slow down, go home for dinner with the family on the weekdays, work life balance instead of striving for monopoly and they ask me which palace I escaped from.

In reply to Sean @ Frugal Money Man. "They are regrets that the majority of us have, and they are giving the living one last piece of advice before they pass." Yes exactly!

Dude we’re seriously the same on this. It’s what we can NOW from the collected information of those before us with more experience. Lova ya Doc!

I said “strive to be the man you want your daughter to marry” to my husband and he didn’t get it. He said “ewww” LOL! I think he missed the point. It’s amazing advice.
