I will say that in Asia, the CONSENSUS among medical and policy experts is to wear a mask.

If you are asymptomatic, you would want to prevent spread, wouldn't you?

And since primary transmission is via aerosol, if you cover your mouth/nose while outside...

That being said, do not use an N95 while there is a dire shortage of PPE among medical professionals. Do something DIY or similar

Edit: and if medical professionals are resorting to DIY masks as a last resort, that tells you it is better than nothing at all.

I’d rather take medical advice from a healthcare practitioner than from a rocket scientist

Last I checked, rocket scientists were experts in mechanical, aerospace, and propulsion engineering. Molecular biology and medicine are different fields

Agreed with the comment above. If you are going to wear one, please make it rather than buy one as medical professionals are in dire need of them.

One of the largest values to masks if you’re not a healthcare provider is it stops you from touching your own face / mouth / nose. That’s how this spreads. A scarf around the face can be equally effective going grocery shopping. Or just really good self restraint

like

If it helps you to remember to not touch your face, and helps you keep your distance from people, then you should do it. The efficacy of the mask vs. getting coughed is of secondary importance

Clean hands, go outside, stay away from people, don’t touch your face, clean your hands. You’re okay.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I’m in assistant manager at a company that sells dog and cat products.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
