    Wow those are good questions.

    My biggest accomplishment so far is probably buying my house all on my own.  There was a lot of issues at the very end with money and the bank wanting more money than agreed to (I bought a foreclosure) and they told me I couldn't have the house, even though all my stuff was packed up into a moving van waiting to move in that day!  But I got through it and now I absolutely love my house!

    I always say that I really don't regret anything...but I think there are always things I can look back and on could've done a little different.  I guess I wish I was more honest in my relationships when I was younger.  It worked out great because I met a great guy that I'm marrying but I always protected myself first which wasn't a good way to go about things.

    Greatest accomplishment: Professional: graduating from college, passing the CPA exam, and landing a really good job. I worked full-time during the day and went to school at night and fought tooth-and-nail for all if it. Personal: completing RCIA last year. It has improved my life in so many ways. Biggest regret: not having more confidence in myself when I was younger and I regret a few bad relationships...but in the end, all of it made me who I am today and I'm not sure I would change anything.

    Oooh, very deep...

    What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?  
    Becoming a responsible adult.  Being able to balance work with raising a baby.  

    What is your biggest regret?
    Not visiting my mom enough when she was in a home after her stroke in May 2009.  She died in December 2009, and I still feel like I never got to say goodbye.

    Greatest Accomplishment:  Taking the big leap of leaving the restaurant industry to the finance industry without really knowing much about it.  If I didn't do that I would not be where I am today. 

    Regret:  I can look back and say I wish I changed this or I wish I didn't do that but then I would be saying that I am not happy with who I am now.  Those things in the past made me who I am and I like me.  So no big regrets at all.

    What do you consider your greatest accomplishment? So far it would be maintaining a 4.0 in my Masters program.  I've never done that well in school before so this is a really big deal for me. 

    What is your biggest regret? I have no regrets, everything has made me who I am or gotten me where I am today.  Sure I could have said or done something differently but what's done is done.  Each day is a another chance to turn it all around.

    Biggest Accomplishment- buying my house. We bought a forclosed home, paid in full. So having a house with no mortage is a huge accomplishment for us.

    Biggest Regret- my degree choice. I wish i would have chosen something else. i'm not happy with my degrees but can't afford to go back to school- i'm SOL.

    What do you consider your greatest accomplishment? Greatest accomplishment is hard but I guess it would be getting through a major surgery and a breakup at the same time and coming out a better person at the end. 

    What is your biggest regret? I have no regrets, everything happens for a reason. I really think everything that happened in my life has made me the person I am today. Without those things I would be a different person.

    Greatest Accomplishments: That I'm about to graduate from college, and that I'm taking strides towards going to graduate school.  Also that I was able to work at a year long internship.

    Biggest Regret:  I don't think I have one, really.  I sometimes regret that I've allowed myself to fall into a bit of credit card debt, but it isn't a HUGE amount and I'm working on fixing it.  I just swore to myself that I'd never overuse my card, and I did :(

    In Response to Tell Us Tuesday:
    What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?   I am getting close to finishing my PhD (sometime in the next couple of months), and when that happens, I definitely think that will be it.  The others (you know, that I've actually already accomplished) are also related to my education - finishing my bachelor's degree with no debt, and earning a fellowship for graduate school.

     What is your biggest regret?      While everything has turned out for the best, I regret the way I treated my college boyfriend when we were together.  In hindsight, I didn't love him, I just liked having him around, and as a result, he put a lot more into our relationship than I did.  That's a poor way to treat someone, and I should have just broken up with him.
