Feeling the regret

I started my first real career job in 2021, and told myself that as soon as I had my cc debt paid off I'd buy as much BTC as I could for the rest of my first year to try to make it to my goal. Right when it got to the peak, I had enough money to start buying, but I decided to wait for the price to go down a little first. It got to 40k and I figured that that was about as good as it was going to get, so I just started stacking. Right as my 1 year job anniversary came I finally hit my target, right as BTC was hitting 17k. I stopped stacking so I could focus on other things, but that price was so tempting, so I still threw in some chump change every now and then, but nothing like I had been putting in before. Now, looking back at those cheap winter prices, I wish I'd never stopped.
