Regular checkups by the best doctors on earth, making it more likely that you catch something before it goes very wrong.
Stem cell therapies from Germany / Europe that stimulate adult stem cells to heal damaged joints / tendons / ligaments (Kobe Bryant used this in the off-season, and claims it worked wonders on his rapidly aging body (by athlete standards)). Great for someone over the age of 30 or 40 with some wear & tear to their body.
Financial security - socking away physical gold and silver in Switzerland (or whatever your value preference is).
Dual / multi citizenship. It's very hard to acquire citizenship in most of the preferable countries. The nicer European countries let very few immigrants in, ditto New Zealand, and so on. You can almost always buy your way in however, granted your character is up to par. Great option for escaping America if it keeps heading toward being a police state.
Use bulk leverage to get discounts on everything you would normally be purchasing. Pay cash for your car, whatever the type you buy, and save on interest. Call up the top insurance firms, they almost always have millionaire packages, pay 10 years out on your insurance coverages (home owners, car, health) and save. Also, buy the best insurance possible, including having a hefty life insurance policy for your loves ones.
Pay off all your debt, and never carry debt again (except for purposes of credit building). These days a lot of people are carrying $50k, $100k, etc. in student debt or debt in general (including vehicle debt, mortgage debt, student loans, credit cards).
Buying time is the real kicker, whenever you can manage to. Hire a personal assistant that works from a distance, but helps organize your life virtually. Your friends would never need to know the assistant exists.
- PGenes 14y agoYou sound like you really know what to do with money. Thanks for the tips!
- kristofferR 14y agoGetting a virtual personal assistant isn't very expensive, most SF/SV engineers could probably afford it if they wanted to (whether they would need it is another question though..) The really expensive thing is getting a local person who can do "real" tasks for you in your area, there's a lot that can't be done on the net yet. BTW, it seems like you are hellbanned PGenes. Contact an admin to fix it?
- adventureful 14y agoHellbanned PGenes? No clue what that means. Are you speculating that I'm a previously banned member? I am a previously banned (restricted really) member, but not PGenes (or whatever). I got 'hellbanned' for defending myself too aggressively against a sharp shooter that was being an asshole reddit style. Noticed that I could still comment and vote, but my comments no longer showed up to everyone else, waited weeks, and then left HN for a while because it was bullshit. Then I came back and made a new profile.
- kristofferR 14y agoPGenes is a hellbanned user who also replied to your comment. Activate "ShowDead" in your profile if you can't see him. I added the notice in my reply to you since I couldn't reply to the hellbanned comment PGenes made.
