I found this indirectlly from a link on Foon's page. There was a list of "tips to reach financial independence and a good life" on this one webpage, and it had a lot of bullshit about buying Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys and how buying expensive cars will not bring you anything more than fleeting moments of happiness. Right, because every person on earth has the same interests and same preferences, thus the universal utility-maximizing car is a boring Japanese car. Anyway, this is one random guy's take on the subject. It also talks about how you should buy government bonds and not stocks. Yada, yada. The interesting thing I found was #1--don't marry someone you will later divorce. Then it had a hint as to how to know if you're going to get divorced...
"Bonus: How To Know If You Will Divorce
Of course, there is no way to know this for sure. But a key test to apply to anyone you are thinking of marrying is this - what is the quality of their long-term relationships with family and friends? A key indicator of the sustainability of your relationship is to look at your partner's long-term relationships with parents, brothers, sisters and friends. Have these remained solid over time? If there are two, long-term relationships that are strained or failed, this is a good predictor that your marriage may fail over the long- term."
Makes some sense.
