I'm 42. It's kinda like that for me now but if I was 20 now, I don't think this pattern would work so well in the future but I'm damn sure try.

I lost $6k in an FSA for not knowing the difference between an FSA and HSA.

Salt the saucepan. Then add water.

You kind of need to start over. When you do, use a Forwarded Email Alias service. They generate a random email address and forward it to your main account. The one I like is called SimpleLogin, and it integrates with Bitwarden Password Manager. The tip the OP posted and using + addresses some data brokers filter out.

Store your salt container in the pot that you use to boil water.

Get in the habit of reading the instructions on the pasta. It states to "add salt to taste" on the box

Challenge them.

Often they want to shut down all the lights on the street, so they are only with light.

For example you say:

You : I was successful today at x.

They : Thats nothing difficult, i did that x time lalala.

You : Why you are saying that? You are not happy with me? (change it to them)

Or tell them, well it is important for me and i wanted to share this with you because i care about you, you should try that as well.

Dont be scared, if they dont know about their behaviour challenge them so they learn. If they know it, challenge them again, because they diminish people which are okay with that. If you fight back they will understand.

If they've been through the dryer, you need to reactivate the oil. I've successfully used WD40, then make a paste of the blue dawn dishsoap and baking soda.

Let it sit for a few hours. Then wash. Do not dry, chrck for oil. Apply dawn dishsoap aline if oil spot is still present.

fewer water and less things. One of those grates on my nerves, and the other is slightly annoying.

nah it really doesnt matter does it if your industry suddenly doesnt need you or an injury late into your 20s makes you useless in your field. Spend your 20s learning some, having fun, and learning the life lessons that it takes others the next two decades to learn. Then in your 30s do the same all over again. Life isnt about how far you make it in your job, its everything that happens around it.

Some water. Less water. 10 things. Fewer things.

This is the pattern, but it's not always followed.

Use a password manager. Bitwarden integrates with services such as SimpleLogin to create an alias and forward the email. I use one called SimpleLogin.
