LPT: use a reloadable prepaid card to pay for your gym membership. The gyms are extremely hard to cancel, and most auto-deduct your fees - this helps to minimize your financial losses.

LPT: before buying anything on Etsy, put the item in your cart and leave it there for a day. Many shops will send you an automatic “in your cart” discount after 12-24 hours.

LPT: If you have cash sitting in a passbook savings account, consider stashing it in 30-day T-bills instead. The current rate is 4.8%. It's as low-risk as a bank, and if you need your money quickly, the only penalty is the current month's interest.

LPT: If someone grabs you by your wrists, look to see where their thumbs are and pull away at that point. That is the weakest area in their grip.

LPT: Single people at work are often expected to pick up the slack (with no extra remuneration) when their colleagues set good limits because they have families. It's OK to have a life and have boundaries with your job to spend time doing things other than being with kids or a partner.

LPT: Being in a bad mood is not justification to be rude to others. And showing others kindness will actually improve your own mood

LPT: When you want a young child to do something (like a chore or getting dressed), they will be much more willing to do it if you give them the illusion of choice.

LPT: If you're "cutting the cord" tell them you're moving to a new state the company doesn't serve. Otherwise you'll have to deal with an hour of switching between departments (sales people) before they'll allow you to disconnect.

LPT If you need to call customer service, call as early in the morning as you can to get the most tenured/knowledgeable employees. More tenure=better shifts. It will save you time and being told incorrect info.

LPT: There's no reason to be afraid of MSG. Ya'll should go to your Asian market and pick up a bag. You use it like salt, but I suggest only using 1/3 of the amount of MSG to salt ratio when adding to a dish. You don't want to taste the MSG, you just want it in the background to enhance the dish.
