If you could go back (with the current knowledge you have now). Would you be more successful or happy.

Not sure about being more successful or happy, but wouldn't everyone want to go back to being 20 *if* they had the knowledge they had at 40 or 50, 60, etc? You would avoid bad relationships, and commit fewer mistakes personally and professionally. But anyone would still make mistakes (some huge ones, probably), they'd just be different mistakes. I would never want to be a kid in today's world where everyone is glued to their phones and conversation is a dying art. But I want to be 12 years old in 1986 when I actually was 12. But only if I brought the wisdom I possess now.

Wherever the wind blows me too ?

I don't think you will be happy wherever you go. Good vibes are always a fleeting thing for you.

Also, would going back means going back to the same time or going back as a kid in the present?

That is correct : but I still can shoot for “slightly less miserable “

Way to keep the down spirits up but limit the ceiling. Good for you.

Just eat some good food?

My rapid weight gain suddenly makes sense

So, I was thinking today about my life choices and how it has led to this. That sounded glum. But I don't mean it in a negative way (if the wife sees this it will self destruct), I mean it in a curious way.

I am not Pepe love guru that would say "I don't have any regrets because I am who I am based on my past."

If you could go back (with the current knowledge you have now). Would you be more successful or happy. I don't mean going back and using it to gamble or invest in things you already know about BTF style.

I really think if I could go back to the age of 12, I would be able to lean out many mistakes and really have life figured out. Then again, I could make a few decisions and then my current wisdom (life) would have no benefit as I was not faced with the same challenges.

It always makes me wonder if what I now would have benefited me and how different my life would be.

Would you go back to age 12 and relive your life from there? Or another age?

The catch is you have to relive the whole thing, but you keep the knowledge you have now.

I finally have an answer after more than a month and yes , Yes I would love to do it

I regret I didnt get a 55" TV in my bedroom before.

I regret switching to a one hander in high school. I had a two hander that was so good several coaches actively tried to convince me not to make the switch, and once I did every part of my game suffered, especially my forehand which was pretty awesome to that point. Now my one hander is a pretty good shot, and even became a solid weapon on clay but man I could have won so many more matches and even played for my college team if I'd stuck with my two-hander. Would coulda shoulda.

I regret for not buying 65" when I bought 55" QLED Samsung this last February. I really regret it.

I had that problem. I moved the 55 into bedroom and got a 65 for living room. The 65 was like $400 more than one i would of bought for bedroom, so i got two upgrades

I bought a 55 inch a year ago, and boy do I regret it. Should have bought the 75 inch that is cheaper and better then the one I have now. If only I had the fortitude to wait one more year...

So what do you have? Do you also live in a house?

I couldn't have possibly bought 75" because it would have looked huge in my medium size living room. Even 65" might have been a bit stretch. I wish I had lived in a house with a huge basement. I love big houses.

My 55" cost me approximately $1,450 with tax. The 65" would have cost me $2,150. Another reason why I didn't go for 65" but later I thought I should have gone for it and still regret it.

I bought my 55 in for $1100, and a current better one is now $999. My living room is pretty big, so a 75 inch would look fine as it is high ceilings with book shelves on both sides that go to the ceiling.

Living room sounds lovely. What kind of TV? Samsung? Sony? What?

Think Samsung, but could be wrong, never noticed the difference in brands to be honest.

I used my buddys corporate account. You get around 12% off its sale price (its a flat price, he shows you their cost)but dont have to pay tax. You talk to special guy assigned to corporate, has leather chairs, drinks and all that, really nice.

I got my 65 for $1087 when they were 1500, 55 was $690. The 43 on my back porch was $238 with 3yr warranty.

Goodness God. How do you buy then? Just go to the store- point and pick? Is it the price tag that catches your eye the most?

Yes, I go in and pick a size, and then read a few specs, then look at the videos they play and determine if the price increase is worth the difference. Usually I end up with the mid point price level. I have OCD so making decisions can be hard if I dont just decide to choose and move on.

No point regretting the past because that stops you from acting now, the place where you can make a difference to your life.
