I attended a business planning seminar in the 1980's taught by a Harvard professor when I was working with American Express. I asked him for career advice and he asked if I'd done a business plan on myself. If I was learning to do it for companies why not on myself? I thought this was a great idea so wrote a 5 year plan on myself (in handwriting before computers) and it was a great guide to my life and career. The plan included this chart on my planned income, expenses, savings and investments. There are now FinTech platforms for aspects of this plan.
Australian and New Zealand Paired Kidney Exchange Is going gang busters at increasing the number of kidneys donated / transplant patients into people that need them. Last year was a record year with 1/5 of all living kidney donors came from this program. The program allows friends and family who want to donate a kidney to a loved one but aren't a good medical match, to be paired with others in the same situation. The exchange also accepts donations from altruistic donors.Here is a program doing real good for those with kidney disease requiring a transplant.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-27/australia-kidney-disease-donor-transplant/103488392?
