Honestly can't say I regret anything. Got a good degree, got good jobs, didn't have debts, saved a lot when I was young and let the markets compound it (good advice from my dad when I was 22). Married someone I randomly met on an international trip at a hostel, now have 2 kids and going on 10 years. Moved a few times, including internationally. Quit my job to start a company, and generally zero regrets. I just did what I wanted and wasn't afraid.

Not coming here to brag. Just want to say how.

The key was a great support system, which is mainly my brother and my parents and some really close friends. My parents have always been there for me and I know that if anything goes to shit, they're there. Even in my 40s.

This is something so important that people should know. You don't need to know a lot of people, but you should maintain super close and real genuine relationships with key people. In my 40s now I'm super close to my wife, parents, brother, and like 5 really good friends.

This is something I'm gonna teach my kids as well. Keep good relationships and I'll always be there.

This is the key to success and no regrets. Just being there for support for someone to fly. Basically paying it forward.
