Please don’t have pets if you can’t afford to take care of them. If you struggle with the cost to provide them with food, vet visits, litter, grooming, care, medicine, treatment for injury or illness, or have to make sacrifices to your life to afford those things (not paying bills or feeding yourself), then you should not have a pet. Having a pet is not a right, it is a responsibility.

#86 – help a teenager
Help a teenager if you can. You can mentor her. Listen to him. Be there for her to talk to. Give him advice. Teens need many positive role models in their lives.
#85 – eat dim sum
Who eats Chinese food for breakfast? About a billion Chinese people! If you can find a restaurant near you who offers it, go for dim sum! Dim sum is best eaten with others.
Enjoy steamed buns, noodles, potstickers, dumplings, and other delicious foods served in bamboo dishes off steam carts. Yum!
#84 – listen to the radio
Listen to random local stations. Listen to people telling their stories. Listen to atypical types of music. Listen in the car. At the beach. While doing yard work.
Take advantage of this free medium for entertainment.
#83 – keep a pair of “skinny jeans”
Keep a pair of jeans around that are just a wee bit smaller than your normal size. On those rare occasions when they fit you like a glove, your heart will sing with joy. They will make you feel happy, sexy, and lean.
#82 – fly standby
Have hours to kill before your flight? See if there is an earlier option, and get on the standby list. If the flight is near full, you could end up with an upgrade if it’s the only available seat. You get there earlier with perks? Win-win.
#81 – go when you gotta go
It’s not good for your digestive system to hold it. If possible, go when you gotta go! It can help reduce bloating, and prevent constipation and other issues.
#80 – mend clothing
If the hem comes undone on your pants, or you have a split seam, instead of getting rid of your clothes (or wearing them with the flaw), simply hand stitch the seam. Anyone can learn how with patience! More complicated repair needed? You can often find seamstresses who can help alter or repair clothing for a small fee online or in your neighborhood.
#79 – read classic books
Books become classics for a reason. Leaders and innovators from the past read and learned from these same books. Even though times have changed, there is always something to relate to and remember our similarities as people. Read classic books!
#78 – own a good corkscrew
Seems simple enough. Starting with a good corkscrew will prevent any frustration opening up the wine. Who wouldn’t want that?
