Welcome to the February 9th edition of the Festival of Under 30 Finances The question that I asked for this carnival was:

” If you could turn back time, what would you have changed financially?”

The question was optional and the first couple of posts are of those that chose to answer the question.

WH took an entire day to ponder this question and then shares his thoughts on his personal finance blog.

Living Almost Large says that they wouldn’t change a thing saying if mistakes weren’t made early on, they would’ve been made later on.

Various responses regarding to the question asked:
Silicon Valley Blogger said: ” I wouldn’t have sold my Oracle stock options so early. I sold them in 1991. It was against my gut feeling but my father scared me out of the stock market entirely. If I had held on, I would have been set.”

ISPF said: “If you could turn back time, what would you have changed financially? Waited for a little longer before buying our first car. We just were not prepared for a big purchase like that. One thing led to another, and soon we found ourselves neck deep in debt. Waiting for a few more months then would have probably spared us from years of debt-related anxiety later!”

Mr Credit Card said: “If I could turn back time, I would have focused more energy in my career and self improvement, rather than just ‘doing my personal finance’.”
