From 401(k) cash outs to splashy weddings, here's America's biggest money regrets, as told to CNBC. investinyou (In partnership with acorns.)
When asked what their biggest regret is when it comes to money, participants in the new CNBC and Acorns Invest in You Savings Survey certainly didn't hold back.

A good starting point is aiming to sock away one months' expenses and then build from there.
