I tell people how much money they have, and help some of them spend the right amount of it.

I predict when people will die, and from a financial point of view prefer it when people die.

Or a health economist?

I breathe a sigh of relief once a month, and an even bigger sigh of relief once a year.

Ask all about your problems

Lots of lonely people with the occasional proper emergency. Lots of blood and vomit.

OP I'm desperate to guess what job that is now. Is it caring for the elderly or disabled?

I don't have a job now but I used to be someone who always smiled and looked happy even though I wasn't, and knew all the office gossip.

People come to me with their problems and then we do something together that releases all 4 happy hormones and then they leave happy an hour later 😂 My oldest client is 60s and youngest is 4.

Take several sheets of paper from a small group of people. I then give one sheet of paper to lots of people, take them back and count them.
