- Don't think much about what you can't control. Focus on what you can control

- As long as you have healthy body, healthy mind, healthy spirituality, money can always be made

- Always be studying

- Don't be ashamed to do low paying jobs, i.e, dishwashing, delivery driving

- Don't follow consumerism. Don't have credit card debt. Don't have student loan debt. Don't have mortgage. If you do, and you can't pay it off, just let it be. Escape to another country, be undocumented, build a new life

- Tell your wife and kids that they need to be ready leave you to a better person that can take care of them if things go south

Basically, just have the attitude "It is what it is, I tried my best".

A lot of our problems in life are because we want this and that. We want a nice house, we want a nice car, we want a beautiful wife, we want kids, we want good career, we want a nice vacation, we want the latest phone, etc. Get rid of your current life style, or just have the attitude "eh, this thing can be gone and I will be okay".

Those aren't that important. Nothing lasts forever. In the end, things happened.

Of course, modern society will break down if all of us think and have this kind of freedom. Society is built upon hard labors of those who have chains like a mortgage.

But you do you. Neither you nor society is all that important. Forget about all of those pressure.
