Regretful wishful lesson

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

I regret not buying a house of my choice earlier and paying off the mortgage 10 to 15 years sooner. My goal was to own a building for professional workers and collect rental income, allowing me to work less. I also wish I had secured land in my name to ease the financial burden and generate revenue. I should have learned these financial lessons earlier from my wealthy uncles or aunties, before they passed away and I was lucky to learn from my uncle before he passed away on how to work hard and save the money to pay the mortgage faster. I also wished I could visit them more often before any of the living relatives kicked the bucket.

I also wish I had become a successful businesswoman, earning enough to cover current expenses and free myself from money worries.

Simply wishing without taking action is a waste of time, and I regret not starting to build my financial and emotional health earlier.
