If you have an invention my belief is you publish it--make it public domain. No one can squelch it then (although economical carburetors were squelched by approval procedures). If you raise the standard of living then you benefit, and your friends and heirs. If you become destitute the enhanced standard of living raises the base line.
Patents only give you the right to sue someone. If you don't have very deep pockets to mount a vigorous legal challenge a patent is useless. Since it takes time to get court orders etc. one can build a lucrative business selling a patented item and then closing and reopening across the street as a new company when finally shut down. The best thing any individual can do is strive for self sufficiency. A bit difficult for urban dwellers but some steps can be made. Money saved is after tax money. This will free you--give you more time. This time can be used to further benefit you. The system is designed to keep you running 90 miles an hour to stand in place. Not good.
