An observation about being in mid thirties with kids: previously, I would benchmark “I think I want to spend ~5 years on X” against a 45 year career, but these days, it’s against “How many years do I have with the kids at home?”, which is a comparative eyeblink.

I have rather few regrets in life, but if I got a do-over, there were a couple of big decisions that I would have pulled the bandaid off a few years earlier. (Quitting the salaryman thing and saving half of my twenties most prominently among them.)

Replying to @eli_schiff
Time rather than money, though most other options would have incidentally affected that, too. I spent six years, learned less than I would have with most other uses of six years, and did not particularly get to enjoy life outside (or inside) of work.

Could have fairly easily been a better office job, or if I had stretched myself harder earlier running a business. I perceived the universe as being virtually bereft of options because I only counted the ones which were comfortably available and obvious.
