Apply a healthy grain of salt to whatever story someone tells you today—chances are, they are exaggerating a few aspects. Also, you should be very wary of making any big financial commitments right now. Not all of the facts have been given to you, although no one is purposefully trying to trick you. Just be on the ball and be a little bit more inquisitive than you usually are. Your wishful thinking could keep you from seeing the obvious pitfalls.
