Pick good people to work with. No amount of money will make you happy if you hate the people you work with for 8+ hours a day. Make sure the company is doing something you like, if not love. Again, money won’t make up for a company doing so

Probably no effect. Cynically, the US has a lot of poor people in the military, so I probably won’t be drafted. We also have a lot of drones and long-range missiles, so a war could go on for say...19 years, and I wouldn’t be affected at all

The new rule only applies to debuts (e.g., you pull money from my account, rather than I push money to yours). See https://www.nacha.org/rules/supplementing-fraud-detection-st... . Most banks have some form of P2P trans

What’s your price tolerance level? $600 per month to avoid potential bankruptcy seems cheap to me. You might check your state’s options for affordable care (ObamaCare).
