If I Could Turn Back The Clock - I would.....

[sherryinutah]

This thread is all about making a different decision if you could go back to a different time.

Please finish the sentence:

If I could turn back the clock to an earlier time-  I would.......

Invest in shares of Amazon stock.  Back in the 90's Amazon was a fairly new company and people were saying it was a "fly by night" internet company that wouldn't last.  The shares of stock were priced at below $30 per share.  Now the stock is priced at 1823.24 per share.

Your turn.  Please finish the sentence.

Adopted a child when  I first thought about it. There are so many children out there that need love and I think I would have made a great parent; unfortunately I was never able to have children but I do love my God Children and helped out with them as much as possible when they were children.

Work as hard as I can to go in the service. I admire and thank all of the service men and women who serve.

Invest in Home depot stock.

I would have went to college before I had children and not after. I was able to finish but it would have been much easier if I did it before. I also would have traveled a lot more.

Bought land in Arizona years ago so I go there and retire now.  The price of property has really increased over the years

I don't think you really want to be in IT right now. I hear there are so many people in IT/Comp Science that it's hard to get an actual higher-wage IT job, and not just low-wage call center stuff.

If I could go back in time, I would probably do the opposite of everything I had ever done. Although if I did that, I would have never met my husband. So... I guess all my stupid mistakes led to at least one good thing. 

Time travel would be so fun. I mean, you could really muck things up for everyone. LoL!

I would work harder at my marriage which was difficult. We stayed married but we both could have made a better go of it and worked harder because we did love each other.

     If I could turn back the clock-I would "not make the same mistakes again".
     Mistakes are hard lessons learned!

[tjshorty]

Just like you I would have paid more attention to the markets.  It was something I took an interest in for a short time.  Had kids instead.  LOL... I would have been wiser with my money.

[linderlizzie]

I wouldn't turn back time. It would probably be a horrible mistake.

I'm sure I would make many dumb mistakes again and think 'why did I want to turn back time?'

So I'll just leave time to itself right now, thank you.

I would've married my husband the first time we were supposed to get married. I would also have starting saving for retirement earlier (back then, SS was the real retirement package). I would have stayed at the one job I really enjoyed if I had to work in brick & mortar. I would have retired with a great pension and that didn't include the surf and turf (steak and lobster dinner) Christmas party every year.  I also would have bought penny stocks and precious metals.

As you can see, there's a lot of "If I could."

If I could turn back the clock to an earlier time I would go back to my early twenties and pick a different major in college and grad school. The one I picked gave very little opportunity for employment and I had trouble landing jobs the whole rest of my life. I would have picked a STEM field instead of a humanities one.
