Life tips

Some of my life tips, in no particular order.

Remove useless social media posts, comments, etc.

Jokes or opinions may benefit you in the short term. But, people digging up dirt on you will look through everything you have ever shared and try to use them against you.

  • Facebook: While on my laptop on 5/2/2022, I clicked the following.
    • Your profile (upside triangle icon, upper right corner of webpage) → Setting and Privacy → Activity log → Comments (or other option that you want to clean up)

Add Social Media Posts Likely to Benefit You.

  • Share your skills.

Don’t work too hard:

More work usually equals more money. Which is good if you are careful. However, there are some issues to keep in mind if you are working harder than you can sustain for a long time.

  1. More taxes:
    • As income goes up, a larger percentage of that income is taxed.
    • If you are paying more to make more, but can’t deduct those expenses, then you not only spent that money, but paid taxes on it to do so. Some examples are given next.
  2. More expenses:
    • If you get a loan for a more expensive vehicle and housing, simply because you have more money, then you will likely need to keep making that much, even if you don’t want to work that hard anymore.
    • A longer commute to a better paying job, still means more gas consumed, vehicle wear and tear, and lost time.
  3. Divorce:
    • If you make a lot of money around the time of a divorce, then you will likely have to give a certain percentage of that money to a spouse for a long time. Even if your income goes down.

Develop Your Skill Set:

Odds are that as an adult, you need to be a productive member of society. There are many ways to be a productive member of society, but they all depend on gaining skills at some point.
