Feature Article; Things People Regret when they're 70 - sailorsam - 03-02-2026
If you have these regrets by 70, you’ve lived a very miserable life
-not saying 'I love you' enough
-too much time working, exp extra hours
-too much time in jobs we hate
-not taking care of health when younger
-not traveling and getting out
-not saving $ when young
-grudges, especially family
-worrying about things we can't control
-losing track of friends
-worrying too much about what others think
-not having an enjoyable hobby or activity
this list makes a lot of sense to me.
enjoy your friends and family while you have them!
go out and have some fun! (but don't spend all your $)
don't worry about stuff you can't control
etc

At 71, some of these I couldn't care less about but as far as others, "no ragrets".
Sure, in retrospect there's a few things in life I could have handled better or done differently but regret or guilt are are toxic emotions to hang on to so I haven't. Going through life and ending up with a coulda, woulda, shoulda mentality seems kind of sad to me and a way to not take responsibility for your actions, inactions or emotions.
