Just beware of analysis paralysis.
Always good advice.
When it all boils down, what are the basic few pieces of advice you'd give to people who matter to you?
Aside from things like avoid the groid, never relax, with jews you lose, etc. I think everyone should strive to do two things:
- Do your best to stay out of court
- Do your best to stay out of hospitals
Not speaking personally, I understand court can often be a mentally and emotionally draining process. Oftentimes when a person "wins" they've really lost months of their time and energy while paying thousands of dollars to (((lawyers))). The best strategy is to avoid court - don't break the law, don't get involved with shady people, keep records of everything, have appropriate legal documents (will, power of attorney, etc.), and so on. The court system is slow, inefficient, and even corrupt. Virtually all the time it's not worth the stress and hassle.
As for hospitals, that one should be obvious. Stay healthy, eat well, exercise, don't needlessly put yourself in danger. We all know people who are drowning in debt due to hospital bills, sleazy insurance companies finding ways to avoid providing certain coverage, etc. Then they have to depend on overpriced medications and it's just a downward spiral from there. I'm not saying avoid healthcare when you absolutely need it. Just be prepared and do everything you can to avoid needing hospital care. Like #1, make sure you have appropriate legal documents so that if you're incapacitated you either spell out exactly what you want to happen (advance directive) or your most trusted person(s) are appointed decision makers (healthcare proxy, power of attorney).
Anyway, that's my brain fart of the day. What are your most important tenets of modern life?
