  A few ideas for additional income Employee Capital Plans (PPK) NOTE: PPK is exclusive to Poland although many countries have similar programs, if such program exist in your country it will be usually mathematically worth to join it.

Hypochondriacs tend to exaggerate harmless symptoms, which are usually natural responses of the body to certain stimuli, such as: A headache caused by stress or fatigue might be perceived by a hypochondriac as a fatal brain tumor.
