I saw a post on another subreddit asking for advice to be happy.

Here are the 30 things I follow, you can comment the advice that is new to you, or something you don’t agree with.

Also type the thing that you follow that has added value to your life

1. Stay clear of debt
2. Don’t be stressed over things you don’t have control over
3. Don’t be bothered about what others think of you
4. Don’t compare yourself with others, we all have different starting points
5. Follow stoicism
6. Always have insurance, emergency fund (5 mons living expense), invest 20% of your salary in stable funds like nifty 50
7. Learn a new language
8. Travel
9. Wait 7 days before you purchase anything that is not absolutely necessary
10. Spend time with your parents while you can
11. Know that it’s better to do something than to regret not doing it.
12. Surround yourself with optimistic people
13. Drink a lot of water, Don’t eat after 7pm

17. Always do the difficult things first
18. Don’t compromise sleep for anything
19. Get comfortable with the way you look

23. When you are with three, speak to all three
24. Know how to eat
25. Never lower someone to raise yourself in someone else’s eyes
26. Smell like you knew you would be remembered

29. Confidence is knowing your worth, Cockiness is needing others to know it. Be confident, not cocky
30. Cut back on sugar

Is this another case of wolves being worried about there being not enough sheep? All the recent uploads are mostly encouraging having more children. For example: Elon’s tweet on India’s replacement rate being below average

Edit: I wish we had never progressed, we could’ve just been the cavemen who slept twice a day, worked 16h/week on average for food, socialized for 6 hours/day.

They never wanted to work their ass off so that they can afford a BMW or their children can get a fancy education.

People with money say that they are working to ease the lives. In fact, They are making it harder. Atleast for the others.
