“Adulting” Tips – What's the best tip/advice you learned as an adult?

We asked for your best adulting advice and you answered! See some of the responses that we got from our students below.  

  • Stay out of credit debt by paying cash for as much as possibly can. Future you will be so thankful! 
     
  • Remove red stains in your food storage containers by adding hot water, dish soap, and pieces of paper towel to the container. Shake for a minute, and it should be clear. 
     
  • Insurance: life/home/apartment/medical/accident/critical illness (get all of it) 
     
  • Know the difference between a career and a job. 
     
  • If you store plastic wrap in the freezer, it unrolls easier. You’re welcome. 
     
  • Get yourself an air fryer! That's it.  
     
  • Adulting is like folding a fitted sheet, very few of us really know how so don't feel so bad.
