You too Snoopy? You seem like a pretty content guy who enjoys the life he's created for himself. Surprised to hear you say you did a poor job creating your world.
I don't think anyone is 100% happy with their lives, but I had you and Gladen down as men who are pretty satisfied with the worlds they've created for themselves.
I cannot speak for Snoopyace, but for me, of course i have regrets; but I would not say a large amount of regret.
It isn't so much what I've done, but what I have not done. Likewise, if my youth had been tempered by the knowledge and harmony that I currently possess, my life would have been better balanced. Just because you see successful guys like Snoopy on here (well, read not actually see) does not mean that they do not feel like they can be, or could have done, better.
As the cosmos has a killer sense of irony, true satisfaction in life seemingly only comes from never being satisfied with the quality of one's life. It took me forever to fully comprehend that we live from the inside outwards, not that the external forces define us. It is that balance of the Id, the Gladen, and the Super-Gladen (<--joking about my massive ego there) that creates true satisfaction. Such things as money, fame, and a harem of ladies are nice; but they are nothing compared to inner light. I had to earn my senior citizen's discount before I understood.
So yeah, I could have manufactured a much better reality for myself. I should have chased enlightenment in lieu of the shiny objects that so captivated me in my youth. More so than that, I should never have ever taken myself so seriously...when I do things turn out dismal; when I just relax and have fun, the universe smiles on my with its tongue firmly implanted in its cheek.

dsouza has the right idea.
I've been listening to a subliminal to help with finances, which I can say it has been helping, but of course it's not everyones cup of tea. Manage your budget, be disciplined, learn to say no and not make compromises about your spending, and always learn to do things for yourself instead of paying someone else (if you can) and buy everything secondhand or at least look on craigslist / Offer-Up / at goodwill first before you make any big decisions. Hell, and developing DELAYED GRATIFICATION has saved me a TON of money
