Wow...some of those are...really bad. Lets go through them.<p>1. No real arguments against the general idea. Divorce is expensive. Duh. Of course, no one gets married thinking they'll get divorce, so its pretty pointless advice. And once in a marriage, the real question is then the opportunity cost of staying in the marriage vs getting out. Sanity is worth a lot of money.<p>2. Children before 35? This never really got explained. Why? Its true that there's a biological clock, especially for women, but its also true that those who have children later in life generally have better life outcomes. Obviously save money if you can...(and i'm not even starting on the "why do you need to have children at all" question?)<p>3. Stick with 1 job/career. If you were from 1950, i'd probably give the same advice too. Now in 20XX, i'd say be skilled, be flexible, be mobile, don't give up, beware of cementing yourself into a career/job that might not exist in 5-10 years.<p>4. Defined benefit pensions. For us later generations, they are a thing of the past. If you do manage to land one, don't assume it will actually be there for you when you retire. A financial/political/demographic crisis is a bitch. Defined pensions can't pay money that isn't there.<p>5. Find a financial adviser you can trust. This is just populist nonsense. Not because financial activities are not important, but because its not possible. If you have the knowledge to judge financial advisers, you don't need one. If you don't have that ability, you won't be able to tell whether they're any good until XX years down the track, upon which point you'll probably judge them on your returns. And even then, there's a good chance you'll just make a judgement based on random chance/survivorship bias.<p>6. Buy the best house you afford, in a neighborhood you adore. Stay there. --See translation: I'm a baby boomer living in a country that hasn't had a housing crash.(...yet).<p>7. Develop long-standing interests that are not outrageously costly. Can't argue with that.
