I’ve had the same cell phone number for 20+ years.  Same with my wife.

Then started thinking how the opposite number retention has proven an oddly accurate predictor for stability of people in my life…

  • their emotional stability
  • relationship consistency
  • financial stability

The friends that have come and gone have also had numbers that have come and gone.  The frequency of number changes also matches the frequency of tragedies

  • Quantities of career changes
  • Constant relocation
  • Divorces

No judgement. No science.  Just an interesting observation that’s oddly applicable in my life.
