Don’t count your chickens. One of my former colleagues had the same thing. When he hit 52 he found out he had prostate cancer. After treatment he could no longer work. After a year of treatment he couldn’t afford health insurance or further treatment. Fortunately you can buy firearms and shoot yourself in the face. Cost his wife and kids less that way. That’s the American dream.

Damn. Common to all my anxieties are, that they stem from self imposed risk - risk of loosing a house or fortune, or loved ones. All these anxieties pale entirely compared to the anxieties I would have, had I been living in such a regime

  It's why we sometimes see people speak of hostages to fortune. Not too loudly, if they're wise.
