ONE OF THE WAYS I HAVE COME TO TRUST VENDORS AND SALESPEOPLE IS WHEN THEY TELL YOU…
to think of the larger, more important picture and not just focus on their need to make the bigger sale.
what may be a scam.
what positive and negative features may benefit you, or important to recognize.
what/when you do not need to buy.
what costs too much for the value obtained.
how to avoid breakdowns, need for repairs, and avoid early failures.
what you would not expect, or, unpleasant surprises.
verbally, the highlights in a contract or instruction manual, as they hand these papers to you.

IF WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO BE OPEN TO EXPERIENCES AND TO BE OPEN TO THE ACCEPTANCE OF OTHERS, THEN IT IS NOT MUCH OF A LEAP WHEN THEY WANT TO EXPERIENCE LIVING MORE SIMPLY BY NOT WORKING IN TRADITIONAL JOBS AND EXPRESSING THEIR GENDER AND THEIR IDENTITY DIFFERENTLY THAN THEIR PARENTS HAD CHOSEN FOR THEMSELVES.

SOMETIMES,WITH OUR PARENTS OR OUR ELDERS, IF WE CANNOT RECEIVE APPROVAL, THEN LESS CONDEMNATION AND LESS JUDGMENT WOULD DO JUST FINE.

CONSCIENTIOUS PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO WORK HARD AS LONG AS THERE…
are other conscientious people who are part of the team.
is a simple plan (or at least simple steps to get them through a complicated plan), readily explained and easily remembered.
are visible or otherwise measurable progressive milestones and obtainable goals.
is a sequence of actions which are well defined and lead to reaching a definite deadline and well defined goal.
is a reward for doing an exceptional job (and the reward is not a supervisor noticing that you have time and capacity for even more work).
are positive reinforcements and encouragements, opportunities to learn, opportunities to increase responsibilities / to grow, and chances to be publicly recognized.

ONCE YOU BECOME ESTABLISHED AND ACCOMPLISHED AT EVEN ONE NEEDED OR DIFFICULT TASK, YOU TEND TO ATTRACT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WORK WITH YOU. IN MANY WAYS, THIS CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER. WITH THE HELP OF OTHERS, THEY ALLOW YOU TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE PROJECTS THAT YOU WANT / ARE ACCOMPLISHED AT PERFORMING. IN EXCHANGE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OFFLOAD THE PROJECTS AND TASKS THAT YOU ARE NOT WANTING TO PERFORM AND ARE NOT GOOD AT PERFORMING.

SOMEONE ONCE SAID, “WE SHOULD RETIRE UNTIL AGE 40 (while we tend to have better health and more energy), THEN WORK UNTIL WE DIE (for camaraderie, daily routine, sense of purpose, and money).”

UNLESS ONE INHERITS MONEY OR RECEIVES A MONETARY GIFT, ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE PERSONAL FINANCES ARE DEPENDENT ON YOUR CURRENT INCOME.
A portion of current income generates cash flow used to pay current bills.
A portion of current income is saved to pay for emergencies.
A portion of current income is used to pay insurance premiums, which in turn, are used to prevent catastrophic loss of income and wealth.
A portion of current income is invested for future wealth and future cash flow needs.
Artificially improving your cash flow by using credit or taking out loans (ie by NOT using current income) is extremely hazardous to your financial health, physical health, mental health and personal relationships.
The concepts of “passive income” and “multiple streams of revenue”, actually are begun with your current income.
ALL PERSONAL FINANCES ARE DEPENDENT ON YOUR CURRENT INCOME, YOUR JOB(S).
SMALL AND MODERATE IMPROVEMENTS IN YOUR CURRENT INCOME (a second job or a partner who contributes to current income) PARLAY INTO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN YOUR FINANCES NOW, AND FOR THE FUTURE.
THIS IS WHY DOWNSIZING, FURLOUGHING, WORK STOPPAGES, STRIKES, LAYOFFS, AND, IN GENERAL, LOSS OF CURRENT INCOME, IS SO SEVERELY HAZARDOUS TO ONE’S CURRENT AND FUTURE FINANCES.

HEALTH AND LONGEVITY START WITH THE GENETICS (we can’t influence, yet), EPIGENETICS (we can influence, somewhat), AND SOCIOECONOMIC DETERMINANTS (we can influence, significantly) IN OUR LIVES.

ALMOST ALWAYS, AFTER ALL THE EFFORT, THE WORRY, THE EXPENSE, AND THE WAITING, ONCE SOMETHING IS FIXED WE WANT IT TO STAY FIXED. ARE WE ASKING TOO MUCH?
