Computer related:

  • Don't be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs...
  • Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
  • Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.

Buying stuff:

  • There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
  • Buck buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
  • Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.

If something breaks and there is no warranty and cost of repairs are to much. Repair it yourself. You don't know how? What you gonna do break it again?

Unless it's something dangerous and you don't know what you're doing. Don't want to get a garage door spring to the face

Microwave repairs are a good bad advice to give to people you don't like as well

Insane how much energy that is

garage doors are pretty heavy

The trick is knowing what's dangerous. I feel that a lot of people I've met have a poor handle on this :D

Very good advice. There is probably someone on YouTube that had the same problem and filmed their repair. Ive repaired an AC unit and a garbage disposal this way.

I recently changed out the alternator in my car by watching/following YouTube videos! Saved me $500. Never touched a car engine in my life before then.
