A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I was way more spontaneous when I was couch surfing. My whole life was one giant spontaneous stream of actions. That's partially why I was couch surfing.

I was stating a general rule, like the shower thought was attempting.

If you understand risk and its circumstances, you can mitigate that risk regardless of your situation.

If I follow, you're theorizing the unpracticed ability of a small minority of privileged people?

independently wealthy people can be more spontaneous, but are generally more conservative, they're as afraid as everybody else of spending their money.
