#adulthood tips

Adulting tip! If you have memberships, rewards programs (like say Swagbucks or Ebates), or a credit card that earns you rewards (examples: cash back, in-store points) let them build up.

I just had a bill at a store I get health products and xmas gifts from for $300. Between points, rewards from my cc, and account credits (for signing people up) I whittled the bill down to $97. Plus, I went into the order with a list from a family member who will split the bill. New total: $48.

So, with some money magic via my credit card’s cashback program, I just paid zero dollars because I let rewards points build up over the year.

Let's say you've recently become an adult and you have these important pieces of paper. Like a passport or a birth certificate or tax stuff.

But it's like SUPER IMPORTANT that you don't lose it but that it is still accessible because sometimes you need your birth certificate out of nowhere.

So you're in this position where you want to put this in a dedicated place where you won't lose it and it won't get damaged. So you basically hide it from yourself. And then you don't have it when you need it!

Yep! I have a solution for you!

So go to the store and get yourself an accordion folder. The thing that has like 5 or more slots and looks like this:

So get one of those for like a few bucks and then put all your important stuff in there! And then you can put it somewhere fairly safe. You don't have to hide your paperwork as much because it's in a plastic case laid all flat and safe.
