BMW 528 - A slightly used model. I was young and had to show that I was "successful". Not worth the money.

IKEA furnitures - flimsy cheap shite.

PCs - always get viruses or breakdown. Got my first Mac 2 years ago and it's still going strong.

The list of things I regret not buying is much longer than the list of things I regret buying...

Things I regret buying would probably include:

A couple cheaply made watches
A couple movies that I'll never watch
A couple penny stocks that were just a stupid waste

Nothing really big though. I do a lot of research before buying most things.

At this point, I regret very little. Life is too short to be filled with regrets, purchases, especially so.

I kinda regret buying my house when I did because it only tied us down and caused us to hesitate when the opportunity to relocate came up and then we never left

I bought some expired yogurt the other day but other than that,

The first engagement ring
Two pairs of second hand Luchesse boots that don't fit
A pair of Italian Loafers I bought in Capri because I was in Capri
An Ipad

ETA: A freaking Kayak--I knew I'd hate it when I bought it

1) American Funds with a 5% load.
2) My house in a new subdivision development. I'll still be competing with new builds when I get ready to sell in a couple more years.

That's pretty much it.

The last drink of the night on several occasions (either for me or her or both of us).

A ticket on Trans American Flight 209 from LA we had a choice of steak or fish. I had the lasagna.

1984 Suzuki Madura 700 - just a much larger bike than I was able to handle and I didn't really have the money. Sold 6 months later for a 30% loss

900 oz. of silver at $32 per oz.

I haven't realized the loss and I guess it will
be pure profit for the grandkids someday.

I should have got a pole barn instead.
