Completely agree with the points in this piece. Regret minimisation for the perceived future regrets in a teenager's mind is going to be very different to that of someone in their mid twenties.

It needs to be calibrated with the best estimates of one's future regrets. E.g. when I am 40, I will regret not having children. Therefore I should get my life in order during my late twenties and early thirties to avoid this future regret.
