LPT: It is easy to quickly convert hourly wage to yearly salary. Working full-time (40hrs/week) at $12/hr = $25k/yr, $24/hr = $50k/yr, etc. This conversion can be helpful when calculating raises or comparing compensation rates.

LPT pour liquids from cartons with the opening at the top and closer to you, rather than directly over your container from underneath. Doing it this way allows airflow and a smooth pour and you won't end up with an inconsistent flow and a potentially messy spill.

LPT: you should never feel guilty about not donating or “rounding up” your purchase price for donation at the checkout. Unless you are very familiar with the charity, you have no way to know where the money is really going.

LPT: After you graduate high school, you probably have about 20-30 years of ever visiting with your parents again. And most of those will be short visits, meaning that you probably have less than a year left of time together, cumulatively. If you have a good relationship, cherish that time together.

LPT: One way or another you are going to pay. Either you stay in shape now (paying for a gym membership or running shoes or a bike or ...) or you can pay the hospital later for your health problems (heart attack, stroke, diabetes, etc.). Either way you are going to pay eventually.

LPT: When you're looking for a straight answer but they refuse to give you one, the answer is this: they want to be in control of that situation but they know they are not. That's why they can't answer straight.
