My grandfather's advice (also an entrepreneur) : Do not buy a car UNLESS you can pay cash. Do not buy a house until you can pay cash. Avoid permanent debt. Please note: He retired in his fifties and only had a 3rd grade education.

There is no such thing as an "antifragile human being". It is the pinnacle of arrogance to believe that. We are all one step away from our demise. One can have antifragile attributes, but to think we are anything but fragile is a lack of humility that life will humble you.
