Bonus points if someone warned you and you went ahead anyway.

    The advice of wearing less when it’s hot out is not for everyone. I just park my coat on the ac and it’ll stay cold on my trip.

    bonus: no need for sunscreen on my arms

      Heck yes. You do you!

      Way too many people tried to tell me what’s supposedly good for me. But in the end the best decision I made was to stop listening

    That just because someone treats you better than you’ve ever been treated before, does NOT mean that they are treating you WELL.

    If you were bullied or abused as a kid, do some actual reading about what’s normal and healthy, and get out of a situation immediately if there are any even slightly concerning signs. No second chances, no guilt, no self blame, just go.

    If you feel like you are walking on eggshells every day with your partner you are at best with the wrong person. More likely you are being abused. No, they will not improve. You can try any number of strategies for conflict resolution but the horrors will persist.

    Don’t go to a foreign country without travel insurance. I almost died and was threatened with arrest for being unable to pay the hospital bill.

    When you close a bank account, make sure you print out all of your statements first. They’ll keep your records, but have no obligation to give you those records when you stop holding an account there.

    When I had to dispute a debt with a collector, I tried going to the bank and they wanted $8 per monthly statement. I knew I had made the payment but wasn’t sure when because it was years prior, and could easily have spent more on those statements than the debt was for. Luckily the debt originator found proof of payment before it went any further, but lesson learned.

    If an ex calls you, out of the blue, for no readily apparent reason, it’s solely to take that knife they already jammed in your back and give it a few more good, hard, twists.
