I will note that the author of this piece apparently now makes his money helping wealthy people recover from the so-called emotional debt they incurred while getting rich. So he has zero reason to tell people how to avoid incurring it to begin with and every reason to claim that it's entirely unavoidable.

I, on the other hand, give most of my wisdom away for free, which is one of the reasons I remain poor.

I'm poor in part because I find it morally objectionable to tell people to keep shooting themselves in the foot and to come hire me when the pain and bleeding get bad enough and I will bandage them back up and kiss their boo-boos for a steep fee. I have a bad habit of saying things like "the emperor has no clothes" and "not shooting yourself in the foot is an option here."

On the upside, I've avoided an estimated $9 million dollars in medical expenses. So it's not all downside.

In the interest of not looking like I just must get in the last word (or similar), I will likely step away from this conversation at this point in time.

Have a great (whatever time of day in your part of the world).
