Well for me it was getting involved with substances off and on for ages and then not saving for retirement until I was in my 40s. Save save save save save people start that 401k asap.

Not traveling

From what I see, every “mistake” I made was necessary to my personal growth and development, so are they actually mistakes?

Wasting money on alcohol and drugs.
Not travelling more.
Spending it with a man that was emotionally dead.
Worrying about being fat and unlovable.
Pretending to be someone I am not.

Needed it all to where I am now.

the 20s of todays generation....relying on technology too much
the 20s of my generation....partying too much

Mine was stopping antidepressants cold turkey and ending up disabled.

...probably not a super common occurrence though. 🤔

This is not everyone, it was me. Alcohol and drugs.

Gathering bad habits that are hard to break and affect physical health in a bad way. Like smoking, drinking alcohol, gambling, way too much screen time, sedentary lifestyle, taking loans for things they objectively don't need without any real financial security plan how to pay them off...

Getting married

Expecting the fairytale

The poshest car in the work's car park, they only use it to drive to work because they can't afford a life. Working to pay for a car that they only use for work, but at least it's the newest one there.

getting married

Sleeping around

It's all lessons

Not saving for the future.

No mistakes just lessons and growth

living for today

Living like the 20’s will last forever

Not getting life experience

Marriage

Renting

Too much work. Too little travel.

have a child before they are financially and emotionally ready for parenthood

get into debt.

gotta have the flash car instead of the $500 shitbox...

Failing to invest and getting into debt.

Spending their money with the assumption it will never run out.
