Dragging my heels on getting my first aviation job, and ending up spending over $300,000 AUD on flight training and aircraft rentals. If I had of pushed myself out of my comfort zone and gotten a job earlier, I could have avoided a lot of this expense which could have been invested. Oh and, buying farm pride shares (egg farmer in Australia). Lost 50% of my nest 'egg' haha

When I graduated as a commercial pilot I suddenly had excess money - forced me to take an interest in finances. It sent me down the rabbit hole of reading and I picked up the barefoot investor and rich dad poor dad, which really blew my mind and got me super interested.Started out stock picking, actively managed funds, making all the mistakes haha. 200 books, countless blogs and podcasts later, I now follow a very basic indexing approach and use that effort running my own business to try and build more capital instead!
