General Rules to Live With

Here are some minor rules that I think we should all live by:

• Make more than you spend for the most part.
• Save some for a rainy day.
• Get insurance for the things that can cost you more than you have. Take a higher deduction to save money but cover the big losses.
• Take a nap now and then.
• Don't complain about being bored if there are things you need to do. Do it.
• If you are going to work on a list about the things in your life either work them from most important to least important or try to put them in some order as you go from rough draft to final.
• Don't let someone else sign your checks. Even if it is their job to prepare the checks, you should sign them.
• Remember the simple rule, if it sound too good to be true, it probably is.
• Life is not fair. It can be fun, it can be dangerous but it is not fair. It is what it is.
• Don't ask what something costs if you have no intention on buying it.
  
• If all you see are assholes, you aren't the lead dog in the dog team.
  
• Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.

Whatever you do, don't live your life by my list. Make your own and do what's important to you. It never hurts to read someone else's list but make your own, or not.
