After my kid got all his degrees 15 years ago and made something of himself and lives out of state, don't spend as much time with him as I would like to.

Kind of a regular regret

My first two years of college were a disappointment. My last three made up for it though, many times over.

Not trying hard enough to talk my 2nd wife (now deceased) out of having an abortion in June 1976. Years later she also regretted it.

The older I get the more it bothers me, but I can't change it.

Personally I really don’t have any disappointments. I’ve accomplished everything I’ve set out to achieve. And that’s still a work in progress. I’m totally blessed.

My only disappointment is America. I’m very disappointed in where our country and society is. Very disappointed with the culture. Disappointing and sad to see where things are and the attitudes of so many. Very disappointed that so many have turned away from God.

Don't have any life changing disappointments. Career was great, finances all worked out, wife/kids/grandkids all healthy and doing well, dream retirement home and great friends.

One thing that was a true disappointment was this car. I always had an itch to get a hemi Challenger and finally bit the bullet when the 50th Anniversary cars came out. This one was a Hemi R/T car and I loved the looks, great looking ride. In reality it was a dog to drive. It was big, heavy, clumsy and lumbered down the road and had a cup holder on the drivers door panel right where my knee laid. Just about any sporty type car had better acceleration off the line, it was a real disappointment so much so that it was the first to go as I prepared for retirement.

I had an early 2010's (don't remember the exact year...maybe 2012) Challenger R/T Classic. Looked awesome but was definitely not a very fast car. Can't find any pictures but it was white and had the big red stripes on the side which I immediately took off after getting home with it.

Waited until it was too late to tell my HS crush and good friend how much I was in love with her. She married someone else and moved to Michigan. That is my biggest regret.
