Finance
- Having healthy finances and not being overly anxious about it obviously helps with being HTGU, although it's not the be all and end all. It represents freedom but won't find you purpose (unless working in finance is part of it) Connection to health - being able to buy regular tests beyond the basic healthchecks; not being so stressed about lack of money in older age; having security
Linking finances and purpose: how, at least in this modern world, it's hard not to link the two but may be the best thing if you can find it. Staying relevant and productive in old age would be good for mental and physical health
Given I started off with a couple of posts about what a fool I've been with my finances in the past, you might wonder what business I have writing anything about this. Good point!
- The seemingly well-kept secret of investing - why don't they teach this shit in schools??
-
- Finance fool 2, pensions (mentioned Emma app)
- Finance fool 1, What idiots the other half and I and I had been when we were younger: totally clueless about pensions, ISAs and investments - heard of all of these things and even understood a bit about the theory but the practical steps and education about that were totally absent
Frugality vs the Ramit Sethi approach: the way frugality and simplicity fit with good health (staying physically active; avoiding too much anxiety and stress) and ethics (environmental, for example)

Health
- The ways in which health link to HTGU for me - the direct link between health and purpose - breaking up into the sub-categories of Food, Exercise, Testing and Knowledge (Purpose has its own full section)
-
- Food - the religiousness and tribalness of diet choices; who I trust and the approach I take, nowadays avoiding fads and fictions
- What I eat at the moment; where I want to improve
- Exercise: What I do - less digging into this as yet but want to learn about fitness for longevity - mum's knee problems, in-laws' hip replacements. Are these inevitable or avoidable?
- Recommended exercising from home classes
- Testing: My meagre amount of testing so far and what I would like to do. How it seems a bit out of reach for the average Jane or Joe
- Specific details of any test?
- Knowledge - what things I've learned that underpin making educated decisions about food, exercise and which testing to get; e.g. re heart disease
- One post about one detail of the heart disease learning?
- Habits and procrastination/productivity link to health: changes over the years (linked to 'Mitigate your weaknesses')
- Best advice I've found, dependent on frame of mind: Niel Fiore, the Willpower book, the procrastination guy, Jocko Willink approach, the OTT Robbins approach (motivational) - link to When nothing seems to be working
