How to Live Well (TEST)

braddick

1. Don’t smoke cigarettes. 2. Drive old Japanese cars. Easy and cheap to fix & they run forever. 3. Buy most of your groceries from the produce section. Most of that other is not actually food. You don’t need it. 4. Ride your bike instead of driving as much as you can. You need the exercise and gas is expensive. 5. Don’t have kids. They’re not miracles, they’re people. 7 billion is too many. Find some other way to give your dull existence some meaning. BTW they’re expensive. 6. Get your clothes from thrift stores. With the physique you’ll have from riding your bike, you’ll look hot wearing anything. 7. Learn to fix things. Tons of great books and youtube vids on fixing anything. Or ask an old dude. People used to fix things. 8. Learn a trade – Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, auto mechanics, tailoring, computer/electronics repair, something They can’t outsource. No one gives a about your Masters in Dostoyevsky…., fix something! 9. If you like booze, drink at home with your neighbors. Drunk driving is for, rich ones with lawyers. 10. Do people favors. It’s called Cooperation. It’s how the world worked before money. They will return the favor, or someone will. This really works. 11. Make things – Look around you. What do you see? Yah, stuff made by impoverished enslaved people far away. Pick anything. Make a better one. People want good. You won’t get rich, but you’ll get by. 12. If you live in America – don’t get sick and avoid injury. Wear your helmet and put lights on your bike. 13. Find work you love. If you can’t do that, then find a job where you love the people. 14. Junkies and addicts are like toddlers. They just want to all over you and everything. The messes they make can get expensive. Avoid them if you can. 15. Don’t buy stuff on credit, remember what happened to America? Cash only. Can’t afford it? Don’t buy it! 16. Preventable expenses - STD’s, abortions, DWI’s, lung cancer, head injuries, speeding tickets, cirrhosis of the liver. 17. Don’t go on fancy dates if you’re not fancy. Most people kind of despise the rich anyway. 18. When you go see shows, bring a flask in. That way you can afford to buy a record. 19. If you had told me 15 years ago that Coca Cola would put tap water in plastic bottles and would BUY IT …… No way. 20. Don’t get cable. There is nothing on. I promise. $100 a month ? no!
