18 Life Choices You’d Be Wise to Steer Clear Of

Life's choices can be tough with inevitable missteps. But these aren't setbacks, they're growth opportunities. One user asked: "What are common bad life choices?". Here's the top answers.

STAYING IN BAD SITUATIONS FOR SO LONG

“Staying in a bad situation because you are afraid of changing it.”

NEGLECTING RELATIONSHIPS

“Neglecting Relationships: failing to invest time and effort in maintaining relationships with family, friends, or partners, which can lead to loneliness and lack of support.”

DOING EVERYTHING IN EXCESS

“Excess, be that drinking, smoking, eating, or just working too much.”

HAVING CHILDREN

“Having children with no means to support them.”

FAILING TO INVEST

“Failing to invest in yourself whether it be learning new skills, exercise, therapy, or simply experiencing new things.”

CREDIT CARD MISUSE

“Using a credit card to buy things without the means to repay it without interest.”

ADDICTION TO NICOTINE

"Nicotine addiction is pointless. It provides a short-lived rush, but soon you can't be without it. Despite my grandma's warning, I started smoking in my teens, seduced by the 'cool kids'. Addiction led me to smoke for ten years. Now, I use nicotine pouches to reduce harm and curb cravings, a futile habit that doesn’t even uplift or alter my mind."

SITTING FOR TOO LONG

“Sitting for too long, constantly, every day.”

GOING TO THE UNIVERSITY

“Going to the university only because you think you have to. For some people, it is a good decision, but it is not for everyone, and there are other options.”

SPENDING TOO MUCH ON WEDDING

“Spending stupid amounts of money on a wedding.”

NOT CHALLENGING YOURSELF AND OTHER

"Challenge yourself, excuses are pathetic. Avoid seeking validation from wrong people. Understand long-term goals for happiness. Doubt in opinions is healthy."

DROPPING OUT OF THE COLLEGE

“This is probably an unpopular opinion here on Reddit, but dropping out of college. It can work for some people, but mostly it doesn’t.”

NOT BEING MY OWN MEDICAL ADVOCATE

"Don't rely solely on your doctor's advice. Remember you hired him/her, hence, you should have a say in your treatment. Consider collaborating, asking questions, exploring different options and seeking other opinions—it’s your life, after all."

BUYING A CAR

“Buying a car before having secured savings.”

PUTTING ALL YOUR MONEY INTO RETIREMENT

“Putting all of your money and future plans into retirement, then dying without living.”

NOT BRUSHING DAILY

“Not having a daily tooth brushing regimen.”

NOT EXERCISING

“Not exercising, especially strength training.”

LIVING ABOVE THE MEANS
