Context .. the G5 shields on family livelihood
See also .. health is wealth , how to accumulate wellness and WellnessCanBeOverrated

My personal control on family burn rate may not be very effective in X years when our expenses escalate, but at the moment, it is more reliable (albeit less valuable) than my wellness “shield” including my habits and current wellness condition.

In terms of adversities (hazards, swants/missteps,,,,), both HH) health and FF) financial adversities happen to more than 50% of all families. Occurrence is generally beyond our control, despite our preventive measures.

In general, the “victim” has more resources dealing with FF than HH:

• HH is more often a physical adversity while FF is more of a social issue. Therefore other people (including organizations with resources) can more effectively help the victim of FF than HH.
• For a victim of HH (everyone suffering ill health), at least in the developed world, the most critical help usually is, rather than financial resources, some medical expertise, the patient’s immunity, energy, fighting spirit,,, Donald Trump’s covid19 treatment was the very best but he probably relied on his own immunity.
• What if, in a rich or poor country, a HH victim actually needs financial resources? I think this is very common.  There may be no effective cure for the health condition, but financial resources can significantly improve the quality of her life.

On some bposts, I listed and analyzed many financial adversities. These adversities usually hit numerous individuals, often individuals stuck on “cash-flow low ground”. Always, some percentage of the victims would survive. I can imagine that I am likely among the survivors.

In contrast, if a health adversity happens to someone in my family, there’s less control, less effective intervention available.

Wellness habits interact with defective genes (present in each of us), healthcare infrastructure, fate ,,, to determine an individual’s DALYs. For example, some smokers and drinkers outlive their healthy counterparts.

— God and karma have a more dominant role in the HH domain than the FF domain. Therefore, I want to do more good deeds, for my kids and grandchildren.
— accumulating protection .. As I said in bposts health is wealth and  “hard_to_accumulate” …. You can’t accumulate health and pass it on to next generation or donate it. For self-use, health can’t be preserved or invested for growth.
