I am modifying my original Five Rules for Financial Fulfillment to

[truedelphi]

Include a Sixth.

First original five rules were:

Buy low, Sell high.
Never put all your eggs in one basket.
Never count you chickens before they are hatched.
What goes up, Must come down. (Regardless if "It" is deemed to be a "new economy"
or other some such hogwash)
When thinking Real Estate: Location, Location, Location.

New sixth rule - If you want to guarantee that you will not suffer a medical-bill-caused bankruptcy, then make sure you live in a nation that has Universal Single Payer Health Care, and not in the USA.

1. Well, it's easy actually, just die if it costs too much.

And of course, sooner or later it will cost too much. But at least you can decide if you are up to it.
