I really dont have any regrets I travelled when I was in my twenties and got married in my thirties and had kids I am now retired and happy

Not getting into the housing market earlier.

They say regrets are a waste of time, but I don’t know how to avoid them. I have a few. That I didn’t finish my degree. That I didn’t get my drivers license, mostly because it impacted my kids. And so many regrets with being a mum!

I have plenty of things that I would have done differently with the hind sight I have now but I can’t change it now so have to try to accept things and move on.

Thats life..soak up the journey. so it wasnt your practicing goal. but its ok!

Did you try out naturopathy, or something else?

I have some regrets, but overall I’m happy with where I’m at now, and anyway, we can’t turn back time so it’s best to move on.

Is it because the industry is difficult to get into or were you planning to start your own business and never got around to it ?

I regret not travelling when I finished school. Now I’m 35 and have kids and no money to do it!

I try not to have regrets… life is to short.

Working 50-60 hrs s week when my children were little. I woke up one morning and my baby was in primary school. Not travelling and choosing a vocation earlier. Life is always full of regrets but you can use these as bucket list goals.

I think that if you dwell on regrets, it will be you down. Every time I think of something I missed out on, I just remember how much my daughter means to me

Yes I have lots of regrets, but not having my children young, I married at 20, had twins at 21 and another child at 22, divorced at 23, and worked fulltime the whole way through, but I survived, I have 3 lovely kids, a lovely home and have a wonderful husband, BUT, I was diagnosed with a neurological illness about 8 years ago which has halted my life, career over, mobility impaired, memory impaired, medicated heaps and long term outcome is not good, I am not old and I regret not doing more things and travelling more when I was younger, but I was going to do it when I was older, I will never get this chance, I tell people now, do what you want when you want, life is way to short and you never know what is around the corner, I would never have thought I would go to work one day and be in a wheelchair the next, live each day as it is your last and do not worry what anyone else thinks, Oh and smile .

YES!!! I totally regret my decision I made as a 17 year old in Year 12 to do disability studies at Uni. I have the degree that took 3 years but have never used it. I regret so many things from around that time of my life and even into my low 20’s but then sometimes I think if I hadn’t done everything as I did would I have my kids today?? When I answer that as probably not as I would’ve worked after uni in the other field (nursing) so why I regret picking the wrong course I do believe it all happened for a reason and that was to get me where I am today

I regret not doing my VCE. I left school at the end of yr 10 and have been luck enough to have a job I love for 14yrs. Now I’m a SAHM and looking for a new career direction. So many of the courses I’m looking at require VCE components to enrol.
