I have one. All bought from the companies outlet stores and Nike clearance stores. I refuse to pay full retail for most shoes. I got so many shoes I had to put some on them in a storage bin cause I can't wear them all. Latest impulse purchase was the Anthony Edwards 2 shoes from the Adidas outlet for $79.

All of mine were bought for retail price too(use to camp out on line to get them for retail) but the quality is trash..brand new pair sitting for 8 years fall apart after wearing them once is not cool..but there's a lot of ppl restoring sneakers so I might just have to find a good connect to glue my soles back on..I got like 10 pair tho so I need to look for a good deal

Sold half my stocks after the Great Recession instead of holding.

Selling my ms stock in 2012

Have similar L. I had $10k worth of Netflix stock in 2008 and sold it after a couple of months for a few hundred dollars worth of gains
According to google that would be worth over a $1m right now. Mistake changed my investment mentality

I also chose not to buy bitcoin around 2016/2017 because it's "too hard to get your money"
meanwhile i've NEVER withdrawn from any of my index funds
