Personal Finance & Salary Disclosure
📌 Sharing your salary or savings with others is generally ill-advised as it often leads to feelings of disappointment, anger, jealousy, or hurt in one of the parties involved.
⚖️ This information should only be shared on a strict need-to-know basis, such as with a financial advisor, mortgage broker, or estate planning attorney for professional assistance.

Career Transition Intentions
🛑 Never inform colleagues or casual acquaintances that you are planning to quit your job or retire prematurely, as this hands that person undue power over your timeline.
⌛ Disclosing retirement plans too early might lead the organization to prematurely set your exit date (e.g., before bonus payouts), thus reducing your control over the timing of your departure.
🗣️ Share intentions to leave only when you are ready, perhaps to negotiate necessary changes if you are open to staying.

Legal and Financial Authority Delegation
⚠️ Be extremely cautious about granting someone Power of Attorney (POA), which allows them to execute legal documents and make decisions on your behalf.
🧑‍⚖️ If a POA is necessary, ensure you have your own attorney working on your behalf—not one suggested or used by the person receiving the power, especially if they are a family member seeking control.

Workplace Opinions and Dislikes
🚫 Keep strong negative opinions about your boss or disliked colleagues within a very small, trusted circle (like a spouse).
📉 Sharing negative feelings loosely at work or even with older children risks the information leaking, which can negatively impact your professional standing and relationship with management.

Mental Health Disclosure in Professional Settings
🧠 Exercise extreme caution when disclosing serious or long-term mental health conditions to employers or colleagues.
📉 In competitive environments, this information could potentially be used against you during hiring or retention decisions, as some companies prioritize "better, faster, cheaper" performance.

Bonus: Password Security
🔑 Never share passwords, even with a spouse or adult child, due to the high risk associated with email access ("keys to the kingdom").
💻 Utilize commercially available password managers for secure storage and controlled sharing, minimizing the risk of one password compromise affecting critical accounts.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Financial and savings discussions often create negative emotional fallout without offering significant gain, making them private matters.
➡️ Control your exit timeline from a job by not publicly announcing quitting or retirement plans until you have secured your next steps or negotiate internally.
➡️ For legal delegation like a POA, always use your own dedicated attorney who has a fiduciary duty to you, rather than relying on an attorney representing another party.
➡️ Avoid leaking negative workplace sentiments as the downside is substantial (job stress/loss) with virtually no upside.
