Would have been more prepared for my interview at Oxford university. That would have opened all sorts of opportunities had I got in.

I'd have kept the houses I bought in the early 2000's (and used for rentals), and then added to them at the rate of 2 per year. I'd be retired now and living somewhere warm..

We did this a few months back on the CTRL-Z thread. Mine was on there. Not going back over it again.

I’d have learnt to not say what I’m thinking...

Happy were I am today, wouldn’t change a thing as I’ve no idea of the knock on effects. Boring answer, but........

I would choose for my Mother to live long enough to be a granny, unfortunately she died a week before we found out our first was born.

I wanted to be an astronaut
But my dad said
"Son, the skies the limit..........."

Knowing last weeks Euro millions numbers...

Not bothering with computers at school and say "they're mever take off"

This +1.... in the words of Dicky Fox ...
“Hey, I don't have all the answers. In life, to be honest, I've failed as much as I've succeeded. But I love my wife. I love my life. And I wish you, my kind of successes”

But Norrin this is the 2nd “what if” thread you have started in a row! Are you feeling a bit melancholic? Did an ex girlfriend say “Hi” on Facebook and cause your mind to wander?😜

I once had a flat but sold it when I learnt about the problems of renting. My mate had his flat absolutely trashed cost him over £6k to put it right (back in the early 90s) the flat was only worth £26k at the time. My brother had 3 and 2 consecutive bad tenants made him sell up all 3.

My daughter is still in serious debt thanks to bad tenants. 6 months unpaid rent , court costs getting them out and cost of repairs to the damage done by them.

Personally I am with Frank Sinatra on this one.

What I did in the past made me what I am today - not quite broke, disabled but still enjoying my life.

Would have simply made more time to play golf with my dad. All the highs and lows I've suffered in my life have made me who I am today.
