What memories do you associate with being ill as a child?
If they were negative - how can you overcome that so it isn't a problem for you and yours in the here and now?
If they were happy - what was it about that time that made it special for you? Has it ever tempted you as an adult to be "marred" ie a little bit of a hypochondriac or have you managed to get the right balance? How has it affected how you treat illness in yourself or others today?Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
