    Have a steady job, a rainy-day fund and as low a burn rate as you can manage.

Stop telling young men to go to college and instead tell them to get invested in a trade they can excel at. A computer is not going to drive across town at 2AM to fix a leaking toilet. A robot is probably not going to be able to rewire existing buildings, and someone is going to have to do the welding and metalwork when the robots break down.

One we got that world problem solved, tell the same young men to stop watching television and stop buying shit you don't need. Save, buy property, live cheaply and invest in your skills, get certs, etc.

    Me? I invested in a birth center.

The more I read about the markets, the more I think you are the one who is going to come out the other side with your bankroll still intact.
