#13Picking the right spouse.

#17Like most decisions that turned out to be good financially, it was purely by luck. * Buying real estate... a lot of it * Staying out of the stock market until after 2009... then leveraging and buying a lot of stocks * Playing inverse volatility until 2017... missed out on the VIX termination event in Feb 2018 Some things that didn’t turn out well: * Crappy career. Had to quit after many years of training to get there…
Can you elaborate on the career?

For me, the best decision was to move to a foreign country. My life has been much more exciting in so many ways. One of my regrets is that I could have done it sooner.
