For yourself

1.      Start saving early – I started as soon as I started working after 46 years what I put in becomes 10 times more when I retired.

2.      Buy-Diversify-Hold. Don’t trade -  Compound interest works wonders in the last couple of decades despite stock market crashes every now and then.

3.      Educate or learn a skill that is AI -resistant

4.      Instead use AI as Intelligence Assistant. i.e. IA.

5.      Volunteer for public service and be engaged.

6.      Inherit the right genes – This one you cannot plan but depends on luck

For your family

7.      Marry a good woman – Choose your life partner carefully. Divorce is costly. The right one can really help you

8.      Bring up your children correctly so they don’t create problems for you – these are problem you cannot ignore or avoid when they occur

9.      Don’t be alone and be depressed in your old age – learn to enjoy life
