What's the best New Year's resolution for 2025?

December 21, 2024

What's the best New Year's resolution for 2025?

With only 10 days before the end of 2024, many are beginning to think about resolutions for 2025. Invariably, in recent decades, most New Year's resolutions primarily fall in one of two categories: health and wealth. That is good. However, if you think about it, the top resolution every year should be improving safety. 

Typical examples of health related resolutions include losing weight, eating better, meditating, and reducing social media use. Examples on the financial side include saving more, getting another job, earning more, and investing. All that is good and well. However, improving safety practices can be significantly more important and impactful to your health and wealth than all those typical resolutions combined. 

Safey First 

Most of us want better health and more money. That's because we associated those with the possibility of living for longer and living better. At the end of every year we look forward to having better health and financial outcomes in the next year. That makes perfect sense. What we often overlook is the oversized impact that a safety mishap can have in health and wealth, and our ability to live long and well. 

In a split of a second, any one of us can can a safety mishap or "accident" that can jeopardize our health and wealth. n most cases, accidents could have been avoided with better safety practices. Forensic reviews of most accidents reveal that either the accidents or some of their consequences could have been avoided or mitigated with better safety precautions and practices. Even in the cases of natural disasters and other "acts of God", safety precautions such as adequate emergence preparedness could have improved outcomes.

Cultivating safety as a habit can be more impactful to your health and wealth than all healthy living and money-making habits combined. In theory, a person can smoke, eat junk food, be a couch potato, etc, for decades. However, even the healthiest and wealthiest can lose everything in a second due to a safety mishap. An accident can kill, incapacitate, or ruin anyone in a heartbeat. Sounds heart-breaking but it's true.  

Think about it. If you are smart, you get the point. Improving safety, including emergency preparedness, should be your #1 New Year's resolution for 2025. Safety, or lack thereof, can have an oversized impact on everything else in your life, including the health and wealth that you care so deeply about. 

How can you improve your safety? Well, find out. Make that your New Year's resolution. The information is out there. What you needed was someone to make you think about it so that you can take action. Every daily activity from chewing to walking, to riding and driving, can be done in a safer manner. Safety tips and methods are almost endless. Safety is a continuum. Your resolution can be to continuously improve on that continuum. 

Below is a a list of the most common New Year's resolutions in ranking order. 

  1. Have more money (earn more, reduce debt, save more)
  2. Lose weight (exercise more, eat better)
  3. Reduce stress (meditate, sleep better) 
  4. Quit bad habits (smoke and drink less)
  5. Spend more time with family and friends
  6. Travel
  7. Learn a new skill or hobby

Note that the one in the bottom now for the masses, learning a new skill or hobby, could be the one on top of your list, making it specifically about learning more about safety and making the Safety First attitude your new skill and hobby in 2025. 

Think about it, do it, thank us anytime.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
