I ask a mix of retired and young millionaires from the ages of 40 to 80 what their biggest mistakes and regrets are, how it feels to be their age, what advice they'd give to someone younger than them, and so much more. Filmed in Laguna Beach, California.

What’s YOUR biggest regret? What lesson did you learn from it? Let’s start a thread👇🏻
Not travelling Europe when I was young to see where I came from. I learned that career and getting stuff isn’t what’s most important. Like the Expedia add says “do you think we’ll look back on our lives regretting things we didn’t buy, or places we didn’t go” For the young people reading this, take your uni money and just go. Where ever that is. Just go. You won’t regret it.
Hey man,,you're doing a wonderful job 👏
@@alelectric2767 u should visit my country, and then I shall visit your country before we get old and regret not doing it,isn't that fair 😉
My biggest regret is spending 40 years of my life on abusive people around me who had the least love care and respect for me hoping that they would change.I wish I could go back in time ,claim my precious years and live life again as I wish to live.While taking care of your family in every possible way is important which i did ,it's equally important to take care of yourself Loads of love for you Will God bless you
My biggest regret has been taking things to personal and overthinking to the detriment of my happiness and not prioritizing the ones I love,not until I lost one of them and I regret this very much....I hope one day I will forgive myself for not knowing better
"Stop trying to be all things to all people, instead be true to yourself" Awesome!

Impressive video. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2016 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable with investing, so I have all my capital currently vested in index funds but considering the dollar dumping and current inflation crisis. How optimal would this be beneficial long term?
Ever considered financial planning? There’s a vast amount of ways to yielding a high income in the financial market but that you’d need to pick out an asset first, how much you want to invest & how you wanna invest.
Markets are oceans not lakes. The aid of an institutional or basic financial managers cannot be over expressed. Take myself, having encountered quite a number of bad trades, I realized following my current Portfolio manager, how entry, capital, exit, goal and more differ on each assets. Currently hold , I have a $122k portfolio averaging a 12% monthly ROI in less than a year following Margaret Johnson Arndt, so I do know the importance of basic knowledge and delegation.
@@MarkFreeman-xi3rk That's fascinating. How can I contact your Asset-coach as my portfolio is dwindling?
Oh, my advisor is actually pretty well-known! It made it much easier for me to get in touch with her. Her name is Margaret Johnson Arndt and she has a web presence, so you can easily find more information about her by doing a quick search.
Thanks for sharing this! I looked up the lady you mentioned, and let me tell you, after going through her resume, it's clear that she's a total pro. I sent her a message and now I'm just waiting for her to reply.
Favorite line: no regrets; just learning from it and move on. My mentality exactly. We can't know what we didn't know then.
yeah that's true , i used to say that when bad things happen to me , and one thing exactly happend to me that make me very depressed back at the time i was saying to my self that my biggest regret is when i let my emotions control me , but now i dont see it that way , some things are just created to happend , either you like it or not , some things meant to be one day or another , so the point is the life is the life , ur just in a race with time ..
Favorite line > 1:22 we spend all that time people pleasing and dont have to prove ourselves to anyone any more. we can just walk away.
That's my mentality. There is no use for regrets.
That 42 year old sounds like a very balanced and well rounded guy
He was the BEST one on there.
Yeah, I came looking for this comment. 5th one down.
The gentleman with the blue jacket sounds South African.
@@pigeonlove yes he does, didn't even catch it the first time. Think he has been there a long time.
Absolutely
I remember when I was in my young 20's and talking to this dude and he said " There isn't a billionaire alive who wouldn't give almost everything they have to have what you have now " And I was like what's that?". He goes, time and youth. The older I've gotten and more successful I've become he was exactly right.
It’s good to realize it, even now. You can start to apply it
Time and health are more valuable than money, 100% of the time!
@@cltinturkey don't you think good health is directly proportional to money..? I mean when you have money you have a great feeling of emotional security which is also linked to mental security as well.!!
@@gandharaorganicfoods You make a good point. Money definitely helps with emotional and mental security. That said, you don't have to be wealthy to maintain good health. You can't create more time, so use it wisely and well. If you have good health and the time and money to enjoy life, you've won the lottery.

In my 40s, my advice would be to stop wasting time in jobs that don't pay well. Even if you have other ambitions and you're doing the job just to get by, still prioritise a good salary.
100%
@@Mukanimou Go get better skills. Then demand better pay. It works.
No one on his deathbed ever said, I wish I had spend more time at the office…huuuff! Something to think about when setting GOALS in our lives… Great material!
That's a very old cleche. Heard it 30 years ago. Think it came from a self help book.
@@2Bluzin so what. It's still true
Not necessarily. I wish that I could have worked 8 more years to max out my pension but the doctors refused to give me the right medicine so I was forced to retire.
“Chasing a positive experience is a negative experience and accepting a negative experience is a positive experience in itself”
-The Subtle Art Of Not Giving a Fuck
@@casanovatigo :)
“The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience. (p.9)” ― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
Unless it’s abuse. Then you need to chase the positive experience.
I’m 62, blessed with health and happy. The key is to keep moving, keep engaged and get perspective to truly realize how blessed you are. I love these interviews because there is so much wisdom and introspection out there to learn from. So many smart people out there. That 42 year old guy has a very healthy perspective on life.
Among all the good advices given in this video, the last one is pure gold: "a relationship with a partner, long term, is incredibly essential to a person' life". I think that being with the right person through your adulthood also determines how much you succeed (and viceversa) and become the best version of yourself.
No doubt. Undiluted truth.
I need this.
This is true for men, but not necessarily for women. I’ve seen a number of interviews with healthy women who reach 100, 105, 107 and all of them note that being single, living in peace and not having the stress of “taking care of a man” contributed to their healthy longevity. 😊 It’s different for us.
@@Becky_CalI feel that is nonsense. It's mutually caring for one another, not 'taking care of a man.' That is ridiculous. It's companionship that goes both ways; caring that goes both ways.
@@user-jd4uc4xm2k Ignore her. It's only misandric bullshit. Contemporary women are intoxicated by f.em.in/.is.m.
To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.
Thats true, I've been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now, I started out with less than $200K and I'm just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.
@@hermanramos7092 Impressive can you share more info?
@@kenanporubsky2122 My advisor is ‘’Catherine Morrison Evans’’ she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market
Society is too much wired around work, and spending 5 days a week working during 40 or 45 years is way too much. We should have more time to enjoy our passions and loved one. That's why I do firmly advocate for the 4 days work week.
I worked 30 years 6 days a week and 16 years for 5 days a week. I had time for everything. Traveled a lot , went out of town almost every weekend , winters were great for museums , galleries. I hiked a lot, kayaked, biked, tried crazy sports. I’m 74 and wouldn’t change anything about my live. I have pretty comfortable living. The money I earned I spent mostly on traveling and buying a lot of books. I’ve slowed down now and I’m very glad I did everything what was in my reach , when I was younger.
I'm 45. I love being a fabricator/welder. I love building different things everyday. You have to love what you doing. I' started at 10 years old welding with my father and I never regret my choice in my career.
@@utahdan231what kind of work?
It's interesting that a lot of these people said what they loved about their job was working with people. In an age where things are now becoming less and less about people and more and more about working from home and minimising human interaction through a computer screen. I think it's a lesson companies should keep in mind before cutting all human interaction opportunities in the workplace.
"At ones death bed no one wishes they would have spend more time at the office" hit me like a ton of bricks.
Some people needed to work more to avoid financial hardships.
I wish i learnt most of these principles about seven years ago. A lot of people have been trapped strongly in the matrix-- Go to school, get a job, and then slave your whole life. Many miss out on life-changing information that could have great effect on their finances. I played with the stock market sometime in 2020, and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I want to put in $390k more into the market. I heard people are making really great returns despite the downturn. Any recommendations?
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
@Bobby Blue For real, I've wanted to switch to a wealth manager. Please, could you recommend yours?
@Bobby Blue Thanks a lot for this. I really needed the recommendation, and I would love to move my funds from an existing mutual fund. I'll check her out.
If I can add my two cents at my tender age of 59! I would say to my younger self, be patient, things will always work out fine if you make the efforts, don’t rush anything, get an education and once on the labour force then keep on learning new skills. Then find the right life partner, a person that shares your values, don’t rush it and make sure it’s the right person otherwise stay alone. Discuss with people up to a certain point but avoid lengthy discussions and arguments, they will lead nowhere. Always be respectful to people and not tough to anyone because everyone has an internal battle to fight. Money is important so spend your money wisely, never compare yourself with others, hang out with friends that share your values and stay away from people that are judging the way you spend money. Invest wisely and keep in mind that very high rate of return don’t exist. Learn to invest by yourself is very important and don’t rely on an advisor, they usually don’t know more than you. Finally, you have been given only one body and soul so take extreme precautions that means absolutely no drugs, very little alcohol, exercise every day and good food only. I wish I had followed these advice throughout my life. I did for the most part.
❤✊
The wealth you accumulate is not what you are remembered for, it is the people in your life

I wished that I could have recognized people with mental health issues such as with, narcissism before it became toxic. Several members of my immediate family are narcissistic and I didn't realize it was a red flag.
"Pays good but it will tear your body away"mark these words.
📢 Big shout-out to the 42 years old guy! He has the most insightful view, and he gave the best advice!👍 I would always enjoy having deep meaningful conversation with someone like him.
The guy in the jewelry store has so much wisdom!
Don’tcha just love him!
Lol weird how we just know that he knows the answers lol
Missed a opportunity by putting it off as a teenager and, of course, lost it and I never forgot it. Since then and I am now 87 I have always struck when the iron is hot and remember what King Solomon in the Bible who had everything said “ the most important thing in life is HAPPINESS”.
whenever i feel anxiety or selfdoubt about doing things in life this video helps me a lot to stop thinking and start doing ... really it touched my heart .. love u big bro from india. have a great life
The 82 year old lady is precious. “Now I go to supermarkets, I don’t put my make up on, I just hope I don’t see anybody I know.” Wisdom
Wow the 82 year old women looks amazing for her age.
I know!

Wow. These people are the epitome of humans and humanity. I only hope they are reading this, because I could listen and learn from them for hours. Bravo.
Sprouht, over 2 years ago you commented on my video with less than 50 views (which i've unlisted now). It was a chaotic mess of a video but you commented such encouraging words through our mutual appreciation of Yes Theory and I wanted to take a second and say thank you. I first saw your video staying 24hrs in the largest mall and it was insanely professional, entertaining, and I could truly feel your passion. Seeing you now at 250k from the 20k before when that mall video posted is exactly the growth you deserved and I hope you even more soon. Your recent journal release and ALL of your videos are inspiring and truly the kind of content KZhead needs. I'm heading into Film as well and probably going to upload content with Streaming but still your words have encouraged me to keep producing the best content I can. So Sprouht, thank you for your words and I hope I could return the favor. I wish that when I return in another couple years your exposure grows even more so others can see your passion with your content.
Love these videos! Would also be interesting to see some more in-depth ones with 1 or 2 people, as the impact of these statements varies with the context of the person's full journey.
Great idea. We do have uncut interviews being rolled out on Patreon (link in description) for now.
Amazing videos! Since as a new generation we miss the contact to our elderly we are also missing out on important life lessons! And these videos give us this communication!
great interview with lovely people! it's great to get their perspective in life, gotta enjoy the journey, can't wait to watch the next one!
Thank you for this free trial!! You are so great to take the challenge and risk at the low point in your life. I've learned so much from your work and interest!
The 42 year old guy had the best answers! The guarantee we will die, other than that we don't know anything else.... Be content with what you have.
Cool guy who is correct.
I am 70 years old and I and can honestly say I have very few regrets I've had probably a hundred jobs I probably had about two hundred vacations I have had over 100 different kinds of vehicles and I went out with so many different girls that I liked I can't even name them all what I would say to anybody have fun don't take life seriously laugh all the time and if you got something bringing you down get rid of it you got a job you don't like quit you got a partner you don't want to be with get rid of them you got a car you don't want get another one when you look back you can always say I did what I wanted and I didn't even care because I did what I wanted and here I am and I'm 70 and I'm telling you it goes quick it goes faster especially my last 20 years went by in a snap of a finger do exactly what you want and don't listen to nobody that tells you not to do it you can always say I did what I wanted❤
This is one of the most beautiful KZhead videos I’ve watched in years. Thank you!
The 42 year old seems especially wise.
The smartest and wisest guy in this video is that 42 year old guy. He's done it right.
Agree 👍👍👍👍
Agree...100% right
Sprouht is my favorite channel. Thank you.
Excellent - - thanks for making this.
I did the journaling thing, faced the exact problem like you. Keying online, writing on physical journal and ended up giving up. Thank you for your post
Thank You so much for these!!! I LOVE this. I am almost 79 and I just think this is great and really helps me.
That 42 year old guy gave the best advice. He is an old soul; very wise
One of the better channels out there. I hope this guy becomes successful.
1.Trying to impress people who never gave a crap about me in the first place. 2. Putting other people before myself. 3. Relying on unreliable people 4. Not loving myself 5. Expecting others to love me more than I love myself. 6. Abusing myself because I felt so low as a person. 7. Begging people to love me 8. Not living my truth These are my biggest regrets in life.
Excellent series of videos. These are helping people! ❤
What a powerful 11:43. Great way to start my day. Will download the journal and then likely purchase a copy for my son. Thanks!
The book idea is amazing! so inspiring.. please talk more about how you were able to change your bad patterns!
Have you read Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich? There are many interviews and great life lessons there. Old book, but worth reading. Another oldie but goodie is The Magic of Thinking Big, by David J. Schwartz. Both books hold some great life lessons.
I'm 47 now and have made a lot of mistakes in trying to start businesses (which have all failed thus far). I've learned a lot and pursued my dreams, but it's been a lonely and tough journey. Recently I started a new web design business and really hope this one works out.
I hope and wish and pray that it works out for you
Enjoy the process not the destination
Best wishes to you!
Hi man , I m 48, do a easy job and make not-bad salary. Maybe someone would envy me, but my passion is in literature, want to create a great novel. But unfortunately, after reading so many masterpieces, I know I can never reach at the criterion in my heart. that’s awful, my talent can’t match my taste 😂
🙏💯
Thank you so much. Enjoyed it! 🥰🧡
Thanks for this video. Its very settling to hear those perspectives.
I loved this. I'm feeling pretty low at the moment after going through a lot of bereavement, loss and health problems. I liked how calm and peaceful this video was with good wisdom. Some of these peoples voices are so nice they'd be great audbiobook readers too.
I hope you get well soon. Best wishes!! I can relate to you that is why. Life is hard but harder if you quit!! Cheers my friend!!
All great advice!
Thanks for making this content
Theses interviews are amazing. You are doing something wonderful for us, young people, man. Please keep it up.
The last clip where the lady gave advice of relationship was my favourite part of the video❤️
One of the highest quality videos I've seen, listening to senoirs is so truth telling, absorbing decades of experiance in a few minutes.
Thanks brother 👍
That was your best video I’ve seen so far, more in-depth. Very wise people sharing their experiences of what works for them. Pick a path, hop on, enjoy, keep going. Thanks 🎉🌴🦋💜🙏
Worthy questions to ask yourself but the one woman who said walk away from difficult people as you age is one of the better points. She was dead on right saying as you age you no longer care as much if everyone agrees with you and you see the waste of time that it is to get them to agree. Simple but wise insight. Plus, in the final analysis, it’s just nice to be nice as my late elderly cousin said many years ago.
Live your videos, the vibe, the temper, not interrupting when talking and your patience to find people with something valuable to listen.
Absolutely Beautiful.. 💯. The most valuable resource we have in Society is the Elders Experience.. Merry Christmas 🎅
As a retired flight attendant I had so much fun with my job seeing the world on their dime I just retired after 33 years
Do you recommend it for a young person who just graduated highschool?
Yes I do
Wanted to be an airline stewardess but never pursued it!!!!
I always try and look for flight attendants when I’m nervous on a flight. Even when you guys were doing absolutely nothing, seeing your calm faces always helped me when flying so I thank you for what you do!
I did 8 years on the ground, Regional carriers under NWA/Continental flags...In my 40's &50"s....much international travel...nothing like it !!
Thank you for starting this KZhead channel! Has been VERY helpful reflecting on my life and my life goal!
Yay you came to korea 😊 thank you for such a nice video Gave me lots of thoughts to think about today
Some amazing advice there
4:50 "start slow. You don't have to live your dream right now, you can move into your dream"
Interesting content ❤
Such a nice video!
are you single?,
@Sprouht thanks for the guided journal. I like the simple layout. Some feedback - I know I can create my own but sometimes I find it difficult to rate something out of 10 without a specific criteria/definition of what a 3, 5 or 7 would mean for mental health for instance. A scale to ensure consistency would be awesome.
Love listening to that jewelry store owner. He had a lot of wisdom. Please go back and do a longer version of his advice.
Thank you.❤️
yeah that's true , i used to say that when bad things happen to me , and one thing exactly happend to me that make me very depressed back at the time i was saying to my self that my biggest regret is when i let my emotions control me , but now i dont see it that way , some things are just created to happend , either you like it or not , some things meant to be one day or another , so the point is the life is the life , ur just in a race with time ..
My biggest regret is not furthering my education and it is too late at 56. If I could I would retire at 60 but the expense of health care is a no go. Also priority on healthy eating and regular exercise which I started at 54. Money is needed but there is a limit for the exchange of time out of your life. I married the right man and its made all the difference in the world despite monetary setbacks - I wouldn't change a thing in my life since I married him 29 years ago 😅
Please don't think it's too late for more education! You can take classes one at a time or pursue online classes and learning. Be super selective with your topics and I bet what you learn will enrich your life. Good luck!
The thing is if you are in your early 20s/30s you can’t have the same mentality as older people who have already lived it. It’s easy to say focus on your family/friends instead of work when your in your 60s, are wealthy/financially secure than when you are young with no home owned, no way of providing for a family or having money to pay for the basics to keep yourself alive let alone hobby’s/interests that make life enjoyable. You have to prioritise making money when young. Or am I wrong?
not entirely wrong but have to balance the time you spend for work and for yourself. Then ask yourself what is important for you and how much money is enough.
Good afternoon from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents.
Listening to music through a Walkman while jogging. Now my ears ring.
excellent. as someone who is is 63 (and retiring in 5 weeks) I wish I had valued the experience of older people when I was young and thought I knew everything
You might’ve missed something else if you did that
@@cosminonofrei no question that many lessons are learned "the hard way" and that can be very valuable
Excellent video thanks!
of the all things i saw in social media in my life your channel is the most learning lesson in all .its wonderful that we can learn from others .its great keep go
Damn that 42 old guy is a guru
Love your videos. You’re doing a great job! I notice you do a lot of videos on regrets, mistakes, what stresses people out etc,…I’d love to see some videos that are the opposite. Like what are the everyday moments or simple things that make you happy.? What makes you smile? What makes life fun and enjoyable?
Sorry I can’t read that. It’s in another language.
Ironically, the best advice came from the youngest person, the 42 year old. I also like the advice of “moving into your dream” and not necessarily living it right away otherwise there is nothing to look forward to. And stop being all things to all people, be yourself. And live your life to the fullest now.
Just found your channel, I needed this
My biggest regret was not investing into Bitcoin when my friend introduced me to Bitcoin in 2014😢
I'm from Spain, I have been an investor in the cry-pto market for over 2 years
Starting early is the best way to getting ahead of build wealth, investing remains the priority
@@maxiecharles2842absolutely 💯
Obviously trading in bitcoin is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most traders trade with a company
Having a job doesn't mean security rather having different investments is the real deal
We always regret trusting people we thought were great.
Trust is something that you do for your heart not for others. If they betray that trust it means you had expectations all along. Do trust for your heart and if they don’t honor that it is their loss
I like what the 42 year old guy was saying. Regretting can waste a lot of time you could be doing other things and what did you learn? I will try to remember that. Everyone had wonderful things to say! Thank you for this!
"Life gets easier with money not time." Words of wisdom.
Wow...such good advice from each and every one of these amazing people! Thank you for this! Bill Perkins' book, Die with Zero, touches on a lot of themes covered in these interviews. Live for today and be in the moment, but don't be reckless and still have a plan for the years ahead. We all die multiple deaths (there is a last time that you will hold your child's hand while crossing the street, a last time you'll lace up your skates or run up the stairs)... so invest in your future, but don't invest too much in your future. Some things need to be enjoyed right now. And, if you are the type of person who wants a life partner, this really is your most important investment as the last lady stated. Wishing everyone out there peace, contentment and joy, RIGHT NOW, regardless of what age or stage of life you're at.
thanks for these interviews. I'm also interested in what will poor people say
I agree. You can count on that video to come out in 2023.
Too much communication, social media, live your age.. Amazing Thanks for this man..
These videos warms my heart. It makes me feel good and I feel so grateful after watching. Thank you. To you and all the people sharing ☮️ kindness is the new rich.
I agreed with everyone up until the last women, I get what she was trying to say, but happiness and true joy comes from within, you can not get it from another soul, unless your just looking for financial security!
The freedom to make my own mistakes is all I ever wanted.
You are making / doing excellent content. I need to share your channel with my 24yr. old. Keep up the great work--best wishes.
Love this dude. Just so much life advice.
Happy to see you grow WILL and loved that you have been consistent with posting videos. Bring up more videos like this!! God bless you ❤
Thank you so much!

You're right, it's obvious a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance, it's better to take risks and make sacrifices than to remain poor
It's not ignorance but due to some unprofessional broker in the market
