Aim to die broke. Give to your beneficiaries before you die； it’s more fun and useful. Spend it all. Your last check should go to the funeral home and it should bounce.
What you actually pay for something is at least twice the listed price because of the energy， time， money needed to set it up， learn， maintain， repair， and dispose of at the end. Not all prices appear on labels. Actual costs are 2x listed prices.
When an object is lost， 95% of the time it is hiding within arm’s reach of where it was last seen. Search in all possible locations in that radius and you’ll find it.
If you are looking for something in your house， and you finally find it， when you’re done with it， don’t put it back where you found it. Put it back where you first looked for it.
Always demand a deadline. A deadline weeds out the extraneous and the ordinary. It prevents you from trying to make it perfect， so you have to make it different. Different is better.
