My uncle told me to buy a condo in Hamilton in 2018, but I waited for a market drop that never came.

Now that same unit is worth over $200k more, and I'm still renting in Toronto, so has anyone else ignored advice that turned out to be painfully correct?

Oof, that one hits close to home. My dad told me to buy Apple stock in like 2005, back when you could still afford an iPod. I figured it was just a music player company and what did he know. My current net worth is basically a monument to my own bad judgment. So yeah, I'm familiar with that particular flavor of regret.

Man, that iPod era really did fool a lot of us. It's wild how we saw the gadgets but totally missed the bigger picture of what the company was building. That specific regret of ignoring simple advice from someone who just gets it, man, it stings for years.

Read an article once about how our brains dismiss simple advice when it comes from family. We overcomplicate things looking for the catch. Your dad saw a good product, you saw a music player. Classic.
