Generally speaking, rich people may not be smarter than anyone else but they probably aren't dumber. In other words, they are likely to be making fewer mistakes and taking more favourable risks, even if they aren't particularly any more likely to spot an extraordinary opportunity.

You're not alone in that experience. Which isn't information that has helped me at all. Except that I at least believe that others have been here and scrambled blindly and made it somehow too, so why not us?

That isn't right, but it is a feeling. It's a feeling I dismiss. But, still, if it's a feeling I feel then I imagine it's a feeling others feel and I imagine that not everybody dismisses it either.

Corruption of that kind happens very, very slowly.

1. Work on your cardio and your strength. If you don't like weightlifting, that's OK, you don't need to do all the fancy accessory movements (curls, leg extensions, side raises, etc.). However, increasing your strength in the big 5 is huge boon to your life and your longevity: Some kind of deadlift, a squat, bench, Pull-ups, and an overhead press. Strong, fit, and flexible/mobile is the key to feeling young as you age.

2. Don't bother about "building a personal brand" because you probably have no idea what you want to be or who you really are yet. Instead, actively avoid building a bad brand. Be honest, don't overcommit, don't speak ill of others, don't be an unwarranted pessimist (without a solution), etc. You can use that clean slate to build on later. Plenty of people don't ever get clean slates because they pollute their "brand" with what were ultimately throw away jokes, bad moments, etc.

3. Earn money, invest it, and reduce your spending on material things. Learn your taste in clothing by doing it inexpensively (though not too cheaply, don't skimp on decent quality) and when it's locked in, then buy the nice versions. Don't rush to houses and cars. They'll come when you know where you want to be and who you want to be with.

4. Do spend money on experiences. Sure, ocassional nights out, but mostly whatever will make formative memories.

5. Spend time with your family. They won't be too old yet for quality time and they still are likely to have their health, and you're free enough to not have to squeeze them in around kids, work, etc. Get to know them as adults now you're one.

6. Continue to educate yourself (even informally).

7. Do not neglect your health.

8. Seriously, don't neglect your health.

9. Consider therapy or coaching. Yes, you do have things you can work on. No, they may not be illnesses or significant, but why not improve what can be improved?

Hybrid immunity is next best (natural + vaccine).

Vaccine is second best for most cohorts, because it comes with fewer side effects and the side effects typically aren't as bad.

Natural immunity is strong, but for most cohorts is more likely to have side effects compared to a vaccine.

Furthermore, the risk of side effects from COVID are lower if you are vaccinated. Therefore, given that breakthrough cases are still possible, I would suggest vaccinating first, then if they get it they get it and at least you get hybrid immunity in an order that is less risky than natural immunity followed by a vaccine.

For children, all of this is murkier. Also, if the likelihood of you catching Covid is low enough, there's absolutely no point getting vaccinated.

All I remember as a kid is being unusually warm in almost any cold conditions. Even now the cold doesn't bother me much, certainly less than my peers.

I'm sure metabolism isn't everything there, but it probably helps.

Basically, is it with interacting with Apple users if you are worried about that problem?

- Kiwis live and work abroad, sometimes earning much more than they would in NZ.

- Those kiwis buy houses.

And with the pandemic:

- More of those kiwis have decided to buy houses in NZ, because it has been very successful at keeping covid and restrictions minimal so far.
