Crutched couplings

Today on my walk, I was thinking about people who have a demand for "someone who is always there for them". I refer to such roles as emotional crutches, and generally I try to filter out people who need emotional crutches as a matter of urgency, while filtering in people who are okay with having crutches only when their crutch feels like it.  

This is a matter of risk distribution, of course. But I was also thinking about it in terms of, the needy party apparently having a fear of rejection. So a less needy party might submit a crutch requisition, and shrug it off if no crutch was available - whereas a more needy party might break-down or flip-out when their crutch requisition is unfulfilled.

It turns out of course, there are MANY needy people out there, and they happily pair up fairly often, into crutched couplings. Well good for them. 

I guess the stats have it such that the rest of us just have to work harder in finding the other members in a minority that don't want crutched couplings.

Reflecting on my Financial Plan

My financial plan can be summarised as : 

1. beginning at ten-years-old with the notion that I would always work, but always work the minimum

2. around the age of 28, forcing myself to do passive investment, as opposed to simply not investing

3. waiting to see when I get bored of passive investment results, and calibrating interventions around that

4. spending my time on more important things than worrying about money

pedagogical economic development model

Human development model, Ages : Modes

0-10 : You may produce nothing, and learn to produce nothing; you may learn to consume without production concerns.

11-20 : You must learn to produce; you may consume only with production concerns.

21-30 : You must produce, and may not otherwise consume.

31-40 : Investibility begins here. You may once again consume without production, but with contracts for production.
