I tend to not REGRET too much... maybe I put too much stock in that word.
As for things I would change though, I would go back in time about 15 years ago and tell myself to stop working the university library for pennies. When I left, I literally doubled my income within a year, and worked for like $35k for way too many years as a software engineer. Got bumped to $50k finally, and then $75k for one year, and was making $125k two years after I left the library. It was a nice cush job and I didn't need the money much and enjoyed "not building bombs", but stayed there too long.
Of course, (other than a history of being more poor and not enough investments) I love my life and kids right now and wouldn't want to to lose them for anything. So, maybe changing that means I don't end up where I am now.
Still, would have been nice to own a house before I was 50.
