Hmmm beautiful age…!! I miss my 16s. 😊

  1. Study well. Get into sciences. It’s the easiest way to land a good job, financially independent and respectable.
  2. Start earning now. Don’t know where you are, but get those part time jobs. Part time Delivery, tailoring, bus boy at restaurants, supermarket jobs, home tuitions, baby sitting, whatever. Earn money!!!
  3. Fall in love. Get some love. It’s a beautiful feeling.
  4. Start driving a car. Travel around on a budget. Even close by places. Start traveling solo and people will join. But don’t wait for people to join to travel.
  5. Cook , clean, groom yourself.

I'm surprised I'm the first to say this:

Get a bottle of rubbing alcohol, fill the cap with alcohol, put into affected ear. Let it set for a few seconds. Now turn your head over to let the contents drain out.

Credit cards aren’t all that bad. They’re needed to establish/build credit which you’ll need one day to get a loan. Like you’re saying though, only spend what you can afford. Most cards carry a high interest rate which can bury you so don’t put huge purchases that you need to payoff over time on them unless you have a card with a low interest rate or a store card that allows x amount of months that are interest free. I use my cards for everything because of the cash back rewards and it’s nice to get something extra for the money you would be spending anyway.

THIS. I am 70 and don't enjoy many popular activities. Then you know what came along and stuck us in our houses... I find myself not wanting to do even things that I used to enjoy.

I know many people that are more COVID averse than me. I wonder how they stand being cooped up so much. I want to go out, and I do more, but not to crowded places... which is most places.
