Believe others when they tell you who they are and then shift your behavior accordingly.

freeman,

There is a balance of money and time there are diminishing returns on money. Time is the one thing you cant get back. So if you are given of a choice of a solid paying job with solid PTO or a amazing paying job with little PTO or the expectations of 50-60+ hours weeks, that solid paying job is gonna be worth it every time.

Don't have kids

freeman,

I would argue the opposite. Kids are amazing. They see things clearer and arent jaded. They give you purpose. There are definately hard parts, and sometimes you dont get a break, but its not something I would trade for the world. They are little reflections of you, that you can improve on and watching someone with the wonder of awe of seeing and learning all these little things for the first time is pretty damn cool. Watching it "click" when they learn to do things like build stuff, ride a bike, swim, read etc etc is pretty awesome.

mcpheeandme,

Don't say, "I can't wait." It's OK to be excited for something but not to wish away all the moments between then and now. Each one is precious.

I picked that up a few years ago from a Buddhist book. It helped me with so many aspects of life.

xradeon,

Here's a simple one.

Double check that newly installed clothes washer actually has the drain line properly connected. If you don't know how to check it, have someone else do it for you.

Recovery involves failure. It is natural to fall back into old ways, what is important is what you do after. You can either live in the failure, the negativity, and say you are incapable or you can accept that a habit is a habit and try again, find the positivity in continuing to try. Nothing in life is perfect, and recovery involves relapse even if it's been years, it's okay just pick up and keep trying.

dodgypast,

For me it's been finding a partner with similar morals.

In my case it's trying to be a decent person, as a result if my partner or I fuck up we trust each other to want to improve.

Save your money. When you feel like you have enough keep saving.

If you feel like you hate everyone, you probably need to eat.

If you feel like everyone hates you, you probably need to sleep.

Backup everything important using the 3,2,1 rule...I learned that the hard way

brakebreaker101,

What exactly is that method?

Too lazy to type it myself, so from Google:

The 3-2-1 backup strategy simply states that you should have 3 copies of your data (your production data and 2 backup copies) on two different media (disk and tape) with one copy off-site for disaster recovery.

“Disk and tape” is a bit outdated, but you get the gist. A good strategy could be your main computer, your phone, some cloud drive (so it’s in another location).

Saigonauticon,

The most painful lessons in life concern trusting the wrong person.

Brock,

The key to a good relationship (at least for me I guess) is honest communication. Sounds broad, but if you’re with someone that you can’t just tell the truth to then you probably shouldn’t be together. Being able to tell someone what you do or don’t like is absolute key. And with that being said, being able to take what they say, don’t take it as any sort of attack, and being able to work together past it will make your life way easier.

Samps,

Look after yourself!
Help others if you can, but you come first. Don't expend your health to help others, just help as you can safely do. That goes for pollies as well, hint, hint...

Your advice reminds me of a saying, if you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together

Also my advice is on a slightly more existential note is, 'you can't take any of it with you'. Which I always took to mean don't live for consumerist things, and stuff as its not what is truly valuable in life and it likely won't be stuff and things that you are thinking about in the end.

FlashZordon,

Coffee filters are also great for leaving windows and mirrors streak free when cleaning them
