If you had to do it all over how would you invest/spend your money? (fund, 401k)

Looking back, is there something you would've done differently to increase your wealth now?

I started saving really early, but I wish I had started investing in the stock market earlier.

There are many stocks I wish I would have bought, but didn't pull the trigger and stocks that I wish I didn't sell.

I would have forced the issue and gotten my MBA at SMU in 1990 instead of just an undergrad degree.

Well my mother gave me $25 a week for lunch at school, therefore I wish I would've saved like $20 of that every week and eventually invested it into various companies as opposed to spending it on french fries and a slushie. I know that probably doesn't count in your book, but I have nothing thus far that I've regretted enough to want to go back in the past and re-do it over again regarding investments.

Learned fundamental analysis earlier and never looked at another chart.
Specialized in the acquisition of a few stocks. I bought too many; sold too soon; didn't pay attention to fundamentals.

Real estate worked out OK. We bought and we kept.

Not really. I would start in my mid-20s, deduct money from each paycheck into a 401k account, maximize the employer contribution and track the S&P 500, just like I've done.

That's still the easiest way to invest by far.

I wish I had picked the right lottery numbers...

Start investing in my Roth earlier in life and invest in the market sooner in life rather than fool around w/some speculative investments...
