LPT: Wet clothes might not be due to a faulty or old dryer I see a lot of great recommendations for things to troubleshoot on a dryer for when clothes come out wet after normal cycles. However, I don’t typically see my situation mentioned. I live in a fairly humid part of the U.S. Not Louisiana or Florida level, but still humid, flat, fairly rainy, and with soft ground. Once or twice a year, I have to t…

LPT: (U.S.) In the absence of a severance package or other agreement that outlines otherwise, if your company fires you, you have ZERO obligation to train your replacement/s, create any kind of training manual for your replacement/s, or even stay at the job for the rest of the day. Companies frequently terminate employment with little to no warning…but they expect a two-week (or more!) notice if you’re going to quit and will sometimes even demand you help train your replacement or help them prepare for your replacement, even though there’s no law requiring any of those things. Because of this incredibly unbalanced power …

LPT: When booking a hotel, call the front desk directly (not the reservation line) and politely ask if they can offer a better rate. They often will give discounts or perks not listed online. Many hotels have some leeway to offer lower prices or free upgrades ( and more ).if you call the front desk directly. This works best during times where there aren’t a lot of people. or when the hotel isn’t fully booked. Remember to be as nice as you can be . submitted by /u/frankipranki

LPT: Enroll in any voluntary accident/short term disability insurance offered through your employer when you are young When I got to the point in my life where I started having real responsibilities, I enrolled in everything offered through my work’s voluntary additional coverage. I was under 30, so it locked my rates in super low. I have risky hobbies, a dangerous job, and am a bit stupid so it seemed like a good move. Last year I broke my arm, and I didn’t ha…

LPT: Don’t randomly drop “can I ask you something or do something” and wait for their reply. Follow it up with your quest immediately Saying “Can I ask you something?” before actually asking just slows things down. You might even go offline before they reply, making them overthink it and causing unnecessary friction. Instead, get straight to the point-if they don’t want to engage or answer, they’ll let you know. It makes conversations smoother and more efficient. submitted…

LPT: always annualize the cost before buying something It’s so easy to purchase something when only looking at the monthly cost. Before buying, do the quick math to annualize the cost and see if you still want to buy it. Examples: Netflix doesn’t cost $12 per month. It costs you $144 per year. Your car payment doesn’t cost $400 per month. It costs you $4,800 per year. Rent doesn’t cost $1,000 per …
