Any regrets after fire?

ER'd Mustachnians: Do any of you have any regrets, or 2nd guessed your decision to fire? Haunted by what if thoughts etc?

There are numerous regrets about my career. Mostly stuff I wish I’d done better and occasionally people I wish I’d shot. But mostly I wish I could’ve FIRE’d earlier.

The only regret I've heard from those I've known who ER'ed (granted, with pensions) is that they didn't do it sooner.

Add me to that count, should have ER'd (with my pension) sooner, before the kids got older and moved out/into high school and reduced the "value" of being a SAHD.
Dicey:
I had cancer in my early twenties. I knew then that I wanted to retire early. My dad retired at 50, but he did so with a government pension. It took until I was 54 to actually make it happen, for a number of reasons, primarily health insurance. If the internet and personal finance blogs had come along sooner, it wouldn't have taken me so long.
So no real regrets, just that I would have loved to hit FIRE sooner.
