Tip of this week:
“Sid, how long will I live?” — In fact, you can now discover your time on earth using data. Try Population.io. It estimates your longevity based on your location. (YES — we won’t live forever).
And with this thought, we end this week’s newsletter. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Wish you a fantastic Sunday.
See you next week! 🙏
Cheers,
