We would all liked to have bought Xero or Facebook or Google or Apple etc at the very bottom and sold high and even then you'd wish you have bought more, held on longer, gotten out sooner. I wouldn't get hung up on regrets or what ifs...
I guess "life changing" and house buying is all relative. My initial investment could have probably bought a house in Tokoroa and my current profits wouldn't even buy half of some Aucklander's cars.
It's also very dependant on your average buy price too. I've been "in" for many years. Without getting too specific my average buy is down nearer 0.5c and my goal, decided once I felt this was really kicking off, was to accumulate 10M shares. I didn't quite make it (still trying) but made it more than 3/4's the way
I like to think this could be life changing in the sense that it could give me a major leg up into owning my own property, not just skimping to *try* and get a deposit together and set the foundations for some new long term share market investments with what's left. Maybe a new toy with the leftovers
I might not be flying in private jets or starting a Rolex collection in the future off this one but the flow on effect of a cash injection of a few hundred grand in my early 30s could be massive in the long run if I use the gains wisely.
