I can tell you myself the amount of opportunities I had and missed or wasn't used the best way and I still regret about those
Since we all are living for the first time making the right decision Everytime isn't possible so that's why it is important to forgive yourself
And treat others the same way as you expect for yourself like if you see someone else struggling over something instead of making fun better thing to do in that situation is guide them properly
No one have lived before, did you? So I can tell all those opportunities that are gone isn't worth to hold into heart forever.
The missed opportunities of our time
If we talk about the golden missed opportunities I'd count real estate as the top one because when we grow up and became mature
Owning a property became way too difficult because how expensive majority of these lands are compared to how it was when we were kids
Like imagine owning a house in 2025 under 30 year old age, it's only possible when you hit the jackpot otherwise it's not possible to own a house or land with your paycheck to paycheck living.
Gold seems to be slipping out of hands
I remember last year I was telling mom to get some gold with her savings in cash because fiat is trash and gold isn't risky at all
But at that time she and I thought gold is already at ATH's better to sit this one out and buy it later when it's cheap
Turned out it never dropped and is only going up only ever since
Even if we zoom out that Gold chart like go back a decade when I was kid eating mud or watching cartoon - that time it was affordable and saving in gold was brilliant idea every person could've done easily
But now it's just too much spending in life and with that little savings you can only buy silver.
The Dot Come Bubble
At that time I was watching Ben 10 episodes when internet became a thing and dot come bubble was burst
Like I remember getting scolded for playing video games at games shop cause It ain't a good thing
While parents should've told me to go learn about dot com and retire them so basically that ain't my fault and can't have regret when it wasn't in my control.
Missed Bitcoin?
Believe it or not most of us have missed the golden opportunity presented to us on a silver platter in all these years
Like bitcoin was just ranging under $10k, $20k
COVID came, you had a time to buy and that time I was mature enough to learn about these things but I still had no idea
2021 is the when I was introduced to crypto and got my hands dirty by started from zero and created some value over the time to make a portfolio
But still at 2025 when bitcoin is around $100k
Haven't really made life or wife changing money so yea I've missed this opportunity too.
Not having at least 1 bitcoin is a big fumble we all did in this life cause this was the kind of opportunity we needed to change life around and now might've to wait ten years or more for something like this.
Wrapping Up...
Oh, there's one thing left that might be big and we're probably still early and that's nothing else other than "AI" it's just been two years since the words came out
So I think in next 5 years we'll see a lot of growth and this could be life changing opportunity we shouldn't miss.
In the end I wonder what's your thoughts about this, what are those missed opportunities we have missed? And how do you feel about it? Do share your thoughts in the comments.
