Few things are as valuable in the modern world as a good bullshit detector

With the recent bank failure of SVB, we need to all be weary of seemingly helpful and friendly salesmen.
They will come from nowhere with the solution to a problem you did not realize you had until SVB happened.
They will speak words that ignite fear in your heart by sharing doomsday scenarios you never thought possible.
However, they will tell you, "You are in good hands". They will share tales about all the others they just saved.
They will speak seemingly wise and comforting words to you.
They will mesmerize you with numbers and fancy language that make them appear smart.
They will endear themselves to you by getting you to share seemingly innocuous stories with them.
They will build repour with you by using the stories you just shared.
They will appear as the beacon of light in the darkness you never realized you were surrounded by.
These are not your friends.
These are snakes whose heads need to be smashed immediately. Do not listen to their words. Do not ponder on the things they say. Do not wonder about the disaster they predict.
These ones are here for one reason and one reason alone, to make your money their money.
So stay alert, and turn your Bullshit Detector to 11.
If you have a good plan in place, stay the course!
If anything appears too good to be true, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!
I wish you all the best
Remember Generosity > greed
