Here are my rules for living. I have learned these rules by making every (except for one, I happened to get lucky in marriage) possible mistake.
Never own your own business. Work for someone else--draw a regular salary.
Marriage Good! Weddings Bad! Elope, spend the money on a down payment on a house, take an amazing honeymoon. Don't worry about offending your relatives. They will get more enjoyment from your postcard then eating bad food at some cruddy reception hall.
Don't ever buy a fixer-upper. Brand new construction. A condominium is best!
Don't ever do something where you are dependent on an elected official This is not self-explanatory. Some of the most intelligent, committed, people I know are elected officials. Contrary to popular belief, most are not corrupt. And all want to do what they think is right. Still, stay away!
