The great 21st century philosopher Jennifer Aniston once said, “There are no regrets in life, just lessons.” But for many people who aren’t rich and famous, it can be hard to free yourself of regrets like that.
In a new survey, only 11% of Americans say they don’t have “regrets”, and we’re more likely to regret the things we didn’t do (55%) than the things we have done (32%).
And we hang onto them. One in three Boomers have a regret that spans THREE DECADES, and it still crosses their minds an average of three times per month.
The average Millennial says their biggest regret happened 11 years ago. (And is now in the sixth grade. KIDDING!)
On the plus side, 64% of people believe that their decision-making has gotten better as they’ve gotten older.
