Never take advice from those who are not currently successful n that which you wish to achieve ...unless they mad so much money they retired from it.

Don't:
take job hunting advice from the unemployed
Budgeting advice from the debt-ridden spendthrifts
Mental health advice from the nutters

This one I disagree with.

I've been in the same job for 20 years. I may seem like a good guy to get advice from, but I haven't actually landed a job in over 20 years. There would be few people worse than me at giving job hunting advice. The best people to get job hunting advice from would be people who change jobs every 2-3 years and have been doing it for a couple decades. They will be able to tell you how to play the game.

as long as they're currently employed I do agree. i was really being less than wholly serious, but failed at that too.

adding

Don't take humor advice from me, either......

I missed the punchline which was:

and don't take weightloss advice from me




ah well. I can't even get humor right.
