I often kicked myself for not saving more for retirement but instead bought fabric so I have a good stash and many planned quilts. Now that I went nuts for a few years and now have 3 less then three year old Bernina. I do think I am good. Yep, probably should have saved more for retirement and also learned about more about investing rather than sticking what I did save in to pretty safe places but do I regret my stash now? Nope! not one bit.
