Be particular

Be factual. Be responsible for yourself. Be well prepared. Be mindful of what you say and what you do. Make sure they are right and according to your values and standards.

Spending philosophy

There’s such a thing alongside saving and investment philosophy.
Think about your identity. Start with curiosity.

Ask help using other’s self interest

Instead of the common good or good will. Know your audience.

Real consent

(1) mental capacity to make the decision
(2) knowledge of the choices presented
(3) understanding the full consequences of the choices
(4) freedom to say no
(5) clear and explicit authorization to proceed
