Post-Election Plan
Me: After Trump won his re-election, I wrote out some lifestyle values/changes I want to inhabit. They are in no particular order, so could you consolidate and organize them?
Dr. Gpt: I can definitely help consolidate and organize those values! If you could share them here, I’ll work on grouping them into clear categories or themes and present them in a more structured format.
Me: <paste>
Dr. Gpt: Here’s a structured outline based on the themes within your values:
1. Financial Responsibility and Frugality
Be conservative with expenses; minimize unnecessary expenses.
Continue developing frugal hedonism values, finding joy in low-cost or free living.
Use “Buy Nothing” Facebook groups to get free items and give away belongings.

Re-engage in life coaching for additional income and to help others.
Generate more income with life coaching, photography, and virtual assistant work.
