I think Lainey said it best when she said “Even if you were in a better position then you are right now, you would still probably want to be in an even better one.” So true… The only way not have any regrets is to live your present life in a way that will adhere to your future standards and that is pretty much impossible for most of us.

I run the “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve” scenarios in my head a lot too - sometimes it makes for a nice escape from reality. You’re completely right when you say that things “could be worse” though and that’s the way I choose to look at it as well. I’m happy with my life now, so I most have done something right during the time leading up to now.
