Marriage to a highly compatible partner is one of the strongest predictors of life satisfaction in adulthood. Stronger than career advancement. Stronger than higher income beyond a baseline. The infrastructure for getting that match right barely exists.
Friend started running a while back, and I asked how many miles she does a week and she told me she doesn’t know, that she just goes outside and runs and stops when she’s tired.
most of your "adult" problems can be avoided if you:
- regularly workout
- get a 2nd income source
- eat real food
- find 3 real friends
- live below your means
- do what you love for work
- don't have kids with the wrong person
