  • Nope, not for me

    What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

    There’s that famous quote from Woody Allen, which I will paraphrase, “You can live to be 100, if you give up all of the things that make you want to live to be 100.” That aligns with my own philosophy.

    I would argue that longevity is causing more problems than it solves, although there are some exceptions with some individuals. Like there’s some centenarian individuals still working, still in decent health, still active, and have a good mindset. They seem to be uncommon among the elderly though. There’s various ailments associated with advanced age, including dementia and cancer.

    I smoke, drink, eat the less healthy food at times, and don’t exercise as much as I should. And I’m coping with serious existential problems, along with millions of others. I’m already world weary. I’ll probably make it to my 70s or possibly 80s, and I’m fine with that. Any longer, I may become more reckless with my health, like eat Fugu Sushi or dance badly in traffic.

    I have listed the money transfer apps that I used before, but it appears that WordPress/JetPack greyed out my transfer app IDs. Here they are again, hopefully not greyed out on this page:

    I “made” the HETTY blog website because I originally had the idea of writing a cookbook that focused on affordable meal recipes. I was gonna write it in a funny style, cuz I can be funny at times. Humor is one of my coping mechanisms. (It’s true!)

    However, there’s so many cookbooks out there, and I know how hard it can be to find a publisher who will take a chance on a fledging writer. I know there’s also a lot of competition between websites, but websites have lower overhead. I decided to also expand the scope of helping to relief poverty, cuz eating cheaper foods only helps so much. I write about housing, clothing, shelter, money saving life hacks, and affordable hobbies also.

    I’m relatively better off than some people in this world, because I live off a disability and veterans pension. That may change, because of the world-wide shift in politics and worldview. COVID changed everything, for better or worse. So there’s the possibility that I may have to work again. And based on my skillset, my labor value is more limited than others.

    In my working life, I mostly got paid for working food service and retail, although I did study Journalism, Technical Writing, Basic Human Services, and Computer Information Systems over the years. I’m handicapped by social anxiety, depression, and lack of personal transportation.

    I have a history of donating, volunteering, and helping people out with money over the years, despite my limited means. I would hope that others can be at least as generous and helpful as I have over the years. Donating a dollar or a quarter can make a difference over time.

    I don’t expect to get rich from making content for this blog (Although that sure would be sweet!), but I’m hoping to generate an income so I can help myself and others. I plan on writing about different topics over time, such as about future technology. Fusion technology, for example, promises great benefits to humanity. If that technology can ever be improved, other technology can possibly offshoot from it, like a true “Cornucopia machine” or even teleportation of larger objects.

    Anyways, enough of my spiel. Any donations to my money transfer apps would be appreciated. I hope that others find this information found in this blog website helpful. Thank you.
