Fire inspectors

I loved THIS from Seth Goding:

“Running into a burning building is heroic work. Keeping buildings from burning down in the first place is actually just as important. And it scales more reliably.”

In my world it could be:

“Honey, great news, I put all our savings into crypto and they’ve doubled”.

Sounds much more heroic than…..

“Honey, great news, I met with a financial planner and we looked at long-term cash flow modelling, and different options and what not and with a bit of discipline we should easily be able to stop work before 60 if we want to and live as comfortably as we do now.”

You can sling your hook if you expect us to run into your burning building. You most likely set the fire yourself.

We are fire inspectors, the real heroes in this piece, we could be your heroes too.
