Same here
Also selling most of my bitcoins from back in the day a couple years ago. Still have a bunch but wish I would have held them all longer.

I opened 10k worth of nio calls before they spiked up but sold right before for 100% gain instead of 25000%

Guy in 2011 told me to buy bitcoin. I thought, “sounds dumb.”

I'm not making this up. The Crain family owned the property (Albert), and we were looking for a place to build a dock that would accommodate ships needing 40' draft.

Passed on am airplane for 18k that's now worth 110k.
Passed on a Lincoln continental at $6k that could in theory be worth $250k based on recent auctions
Sold my bitcoin at $1100. Used it to pay for a Disney trip and pay off debts. But that same amount now would be almost $1m. I bought at $27 each.

Had the opportunity to buy into a fracking project before fracking became a thing, 20k buy in. The average return 2 years later for a 20k buy in was nearly 500k

Following a job relocation, I built a house when I should have gotten a condo in the city.
Construction on the house finished just in time for the subprime bubble to burst.
But if I’m being honest with myself, I wasted more money hanging out in bars in my 20s.

Missed buying bitcoin at $6 a coin.
Six Dollars a Coin!!!
I was planning to buy $200 or $300 total. Could have bought up to $1K worth, but I was pretty broke at the time.
I know a guy who bought at $6 and sold at $13 a few months later to pay for his kid’s private school tuition. It was a huge win in his mind.

I bought some bitcoin as well. Never figured out where/how to retrieve it.

Gambling four figures away in 2014ish instead of putting it in bitcoin.

Not buying Tesla when Musk smoked weed on Rogan and the stock plummeted to I think $75-80 a share.

Maybe not the biggest financial blunder, but one time y'all gave me advice to avoid a truck with the 5.4 ford V8 and I ignored said advice. To my distinct detriment and a lot of money. It had less than 100k on it and was basically worth scrap after 2-3 years.
Shoulda listened to yall.
