Unless you're eating like 30 spoonfuls a night, I don't think it is lol

Another option that won't help your cough or sooth your throat is nutella. It's my go to if I want a quick bite of sweet.
I suspect it also is a large part of why I'm having a heard time dropping this 15 pounds that snuck up on me.

You probably just gave someone an easy way to smuggle illegal drugs

You're using a very small amount of makeup remover

Yes. People hate Tesla's and it is not uncommon for someone to damage a Tesla. The cameras do not always capture license plates for cars pulling out beside you. But they will capture a door strike, keying etc.

Same here. I ordered another Rich Dad, Poor Dad book called "Rich Dad's Increase Your Financial IQ"
Looks like I'll need to re-read the original RDPD book after I finish this one.

I think the process is a little different for everybody depending on what you already understand or want to learn about finance.
For me, it started in high school learning about how credit and credit cards worked, and saving money. Now as I'm later into my 20s it's learning about stocks, and how to utilize my retirement savings, and navigating the process of becoming a first time home buyer, or learning how to start a business.
I like to read, so aside from Google research, one of the 1st finance type books I started with was "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". A few people have recommended Dave Ramsey books too so I may start on one of his books soon. There are tons of YouTubers out there as well.

Why do I need to use sunscreen everyday?
Add on: Well I get that if I don't use sunscreen, then I'll look 90 years older than I am. However, are there any other reasons for why I should wear sunscreen everyday?

Jesus OP are you really taking pictures of both cars whenever you park and go anywhere?

Just use Notepad. It removes formatting automatically. I keep a version with my resume just to be able to copy/paste quickly.

Reply to comment by PsychoEngineer in LPT Start your lunch break before your boss by Global_Release_4182
Good point! My boss’s perception is the only one that matters (in my situation), and he can see what time I got there and should expect me to leave before everyone else. But I’ve also worked at places where your advice applies because coworkers started getting resentful watching me leave 2 hours before them every day- even though I got there 2 hours before them.

Your partner should be the calm in your life.
Whatever storm that's happening around you, they should be a sturdy rock to hold onto.
If they're not, find someone who is

Don't do drugs.... Until your mid 20s
Your brain is still developing and drug use can alter how it finishes developing.
If you do choose to use drugs, practice harm reduction.

Along with “don’t stick your dick in crazy” here are some red flags to crazy you may not realize.
If someone has a ton of emotions, if they go from really great to really bad quickly, emotionally or psychically.
If someone hits you, slaps you exc, leave them I know it’s hard but they are the crazy we warn you to stay away from.
If someone is not willing to compromise on anything ever, leave.
If someone you’re talking to says “you’re mature for your age” they are too old for you and theirs a reason they’re not dating people their age.
