We've all either seen it or experienced it with someone. An individual who is facing their mortality and is filled with the emotion of regret. As we age, I believe our priorities and view of life changes. It hits us hard that our time is finite and is running out. This leads to a lot of people expressing regret about how they've lived their life. Not specifically about what they did, but more so what they didn't do.
In this podcast episode, Derek talks about the top 5 regrets of the dying. These regrets were sourced from social media, so they are not scientific data by any means. However, they do provide a lens we can use to reflect on how these regrets apply to our money.
Regret # 1: I wish I'd have the courage to lie a life.
Regret # 2: I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
Regret # 3: I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.
Regret # 4: I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Regret # 5: I wish I had let myself be happier.
