This might be a bit deep for this thread so apologies in advance, but is it normal for regrets to creep into your mindset when you hit a certain age? Is it a midlife thing? Do those thoughts fade in time ?
Not sure if ‘ regret ‘ is the right word but, what I mean is as examples when sat there in a world of my own…
I regret not going back to school at that point in my life
I wish I’d of taken that risk 5 years ago and taken that job
I regret not spending money and enjoying a holiday every year
So many examples. Does this mindset creep in when you realize you’re half way through your life and there is so much more you want to do?

The older you get the more you reflect on life its normal, I'm 46 now and i am constantly thinking about my life as a kid or teenager and how fantastic it was even though i had nothing but good family and friends.
Every single one of us have the 'what if' moments call them regrets or whatever mate but you make the most of what you've got from the choices we made.
From my experience the biggest rewards are from the biggest risks.
Do what you can while you can because tomorrow isn't guaranteed for anyone. That's how i look at life anyway.
I never get people who work hard bank loads of money who are complete tight arses but do nothing with their life! What's the point? What are you working for?

I do this quite often now. I would say the last year or so i often find myself having flash backs of the times i was a kid and how simple, free and enjoyable it was.
Your last line also is something i have been doing for the last couple of years and i don't know why i am doing it mate. Since Covid hit i found myself working even more hours than i normally would, almost to burn out, and i am not doing anything with the money. Just banking it ' in case ' i need it. I am also in my mid 40's and you are right...
If we can't enjoy the luxuries from our hard work, what is the point, what are we working for. Thanks mate.
Think it's a natural process of ageing, I would have done everything different,
Hello Carlos, I'm well thanks hope you are too, our new Manager at West Brom is called Carlos so will think of you when I'm discussing him ?

I personally wouldn't have - just done some things earlier.
But as per my post above - ask me again in 10-15 years I suppose lol

Being 30 only seemed like it was a few years ago for me, but it’s been 15+ in reality.
The years are going by so quickly that it actually feels scary. I hope by the time you get into your mid 40’s and beyond, and looking back on this post ( if GOT is still around ), you would of lived your life to fullest, seen places, experienced the world outside your comfort zone efc…. Which was my point on the above post.
I consider myself still young. I’m healthy, my kids are healthy, my family too, have great close friends, but I don’t know….. I wish I’d of done more when I had opportunities instead of sacrificing for others.

Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues
One of the most dangerous things facing young people, and young men in particular, is mental health problems, usually depression and/or anxiety. In many, though obviously not all cases, this can lead to suicide, the majority of which could have been prevented by simply talking and seeking help...

I'm looking forward to having kids and all that tbh.
I'm trying to do my best - getting out of my comfort zone (for me) meant getting back into studying, then programming/IT courses, got a new job away from the cushy but underpaid one and into a new and exciting but well paid one, actually proposed to my gf last month...
Last paragraph is most important tbh. As long as everyone is healthy and happy - it's alright. I tend to think of it in a way that it made me grow or learn, instead of regretting not starting whateveritis earlier.
As a side note to getting older - I'm currently looking into getting a new car and I'm actually considering Citroen's and stuff, as they'd be cheap to maintain and also family cars (C5's or C4 Picasso/Grand Picasso for the 1 person wondering probably)... After having either sportier cars or the Jeep that I sold for parts recently lol Sod all that power, I wanna get to where I'm going and have a reliable enough car with AC, that's that lol
In my very humble opinion, having children is the best thing you can ever do - it'll push you; you'll be constantly tired; they're expensive - but it's brilliant.
I wouldn't swap it for the world, ever.

It's why I'm looking forward to it!
As much as I love my two lads I wouldn't have kids if I had my life again, I tell them if they have any sense don't have any kids and live a full life for themselves instead
