Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Longevity is water under the bridge, hope you had fun and saved some money because that's all its worth.
I passed on CAL years ago due to geography. Had I known better, by 2015 I would have a been a UAL CA in SOCAL instead of a SKW CA in SOCAL. Hindsight is 20/20, but no point in losing sleep over it.
Also wish I had done like my buddy who bought $5k worth of Microsoft in 1989 (he retired by age 30).
