‘I bought a van, thinking it would be a fun camping/living vehicle. Literally my first night at a campsite I realized that I should have just bought a car and a tent. I am not a van life person. I’m a nature person.
‘I replaced it with a Bronco Sport and a tent. I am much happier.’

‘I remember back in the day, we bought a giant CRT that probably weighed over 300 pounds. It would have taken up like half of the available living room and was an eyesore, so we returned it within a week for a significantly smaller one.’

‘A treadmill. I used it twice, then it became a glorified clothing rack. Replaced it with daily walks outside, which are free and don’t judge me.’

‘A horse. Grew up riding and tried to get back into it as an adult. Loved the barn time but after a year realized I couldn’t justify the cost and time away from my young kids. Plus falling off hurts a lot more as an adult than it didn’t as a teenager.
‘I replaced owning a horse with just volunteering at a retired racehorse rehab/rehoming farm. All the fun I wanted, and the weekly vet bills were someone else’s problem.’

‘Rent. Huge regret. Way too expensive. I replaced it with moving back into my parents’ house.
Not how I wanted things but I’m happier this way than slaving away to pay the rent’
