Personally I'd rather tax was based on the current need, and I'd also rather pay more tax for better services than get these cuts. Russo stressed the value of consumer brands and express serious doubts about liquidation value currently used many value investors as a downside protection. In today’s legal environment, when it comes time to close the business and tap into the liquidating value, you could have a whole lineup of exit costs eating into the cash pile, including environment dumping costs, labor-related layoff costs, retirement healthcare benefits, executive benefits, and so on.

I think it's also best if you're working in (or can find your way into) a core area of the company likes, sales, accounting, product development. This is good and timely advice.

As long as you bring in enough to cover your needs and whatever other expenses you have, what you have invested in the market and its value "on paper" at a certain point in time is not really that important.

Having and managing multiple income streams is very important. Just like diversification is key for investing, diversifying your income streams is vital for financial risk management.

I agree that you should show value to an employer, but you should never say aloud you are willing to take a paycut unless he comes to you and offers that as a last resort to keep your job. If you say it aloud he will go ahead and do so, affecting you deeply and relying more on your emergency fund or to adjust your quality of life.
