What would you do?

h'. Wish I'd realised that having kids was the greatest thing that would ever happen to me, instead of putting it off by being one of the lads for as long as poss and in the meanwhile putting my beautiful future wife through hell waiting.
Thinking that the one and only Hammers would come along when Spurs decided(rightly!)that I wasn't worth watching anymore.Should have got off my arse and got myself out there.
Spent less time with "acquaintences" and more time with proper friends and family.

When I was younger I was earning a lot of money £200k P.A.
I spent it on drugs, drink and free loaders. After 3 years of that I ended up with nothing to show and losing the contract. Due to drink, drugs and freeloaders.
However since then I have learnt to say no to people, I was a such a push over.
I would like to go back and not quite spend that much. Even a quarter of that would of been a lavish lifestyle.

What were you doing, I want to go back and do that too It's always interesting to think "what if"...
I'd be interested in knowing the path my life might have taken if I hadn't been uprooted at age 6 and moved somewhere that I didn't like/enjoy.
Would also be interested in seeing if I had taken a different degree at Uni how my life might have panned out.
But then there's lots of little "what ifs" in life. What if I had taken up the offer to travel/work abroad with that guy I met in Wales aged 19? Maybe I'd have had a fantastic time ... maybe he'd have killed me and buried me on a beach.
Not much point looking at the past, it can't be changed. You can however help decide your future.

At the age of 24, I turned down a job offer with a start-up business as it meant a 20% salary cut, but included 20% equity in the company.8 years later the owner took it public for £50m!
Taught me to always go for the percentage, but I have probably only got back 2% of what I turned down.

If you could go back to any part of your life and start over again. You don't remember everything you've just lost, but you just sense to do things differently, like applying for that job, or buying that car that 'would never be a classic'
So what would you guys do if you could go back?
Should have listened to the divide by two add seven rule.So what would you guys do if you could go back?
