If the majority of your friends agree upon one thing, chances are they are correct.
Example:
"Hey man, can i drive your car? It looks like your pretty hammered"
or
"Dude shes no good for you, believe me"
Sometimes others have incites on situations that your brain cannot comprehend. Be sure to pick good friends and don't get used.
Drink milk and don't run with scissors.
Buy for keeps. Especially with cars. You save an absolute fortune by keeping a car for 30 years as opposed to the 5-6 most people keep a car, and if you buy one that's particularly well made you may very well get 40 or even 50 years of service out of it. There's nothing wrong with driving an old car.
Buy a car you enjoy being in. You're going to spend a significant chunk of your adult life behind the wheel of the thing, so you had best choose a good one. If you just go to the dealer and go "I want a generic commuter car" you're going to hate your commute, which is going to stress you out even more than you already would be. Not good. Test drive a lot of different models. Find out what makes you go :D every time you get in it. Buy that one instead. If it's a 15MPG muscle car, then so be it. The lack of stress you'll have is well worth the extra fuel you burn. You'll know you made the right choice if the prospect of an 8 hour drive makes you grin with anticipation instead of groan and wish you could fly instead. Trust me on this one, I follow this religiously and as a result my commute home actually de-stresses me. Doesn't matter how shitty my day was, I enjoy driving what I drive and that means by the time I get home I'm only mildly annoyed at most. It's great.
It's greener to keep an old car healthy than it is to scrap it and buy a new one. If you truly do care about the environment consider restoring up an old commuter car. Best part is that in many states a car over a certain age, in mine it's older than 1973, you don't have to sniff it!
Take care of your shit! Mowers, appliances, cars, TVs, computers, it doesn't matter. Do the maintenance and do it right. You'll save an absolute fortune and your stuff is going to last WAY longer.
Don't update software solely because the update came out. Sometimes updates break features you use, or they break compatiblity, or they simply don't do anything useful. Read up on the patch notes and make sure the update will actually do something useful and won't break something before you install it...
...Except for A/V software. Your A/V definitions NEED to be 100% up to date or you won't be protected properly.
Run an ad blocker. Ads are a way for malicious software downloads, called Drive-By Downloads, to get placed on legitimate websites like PayPal, Facepunch, etc. The people running these sites would never willingly put such ads on their sites and take as many measures as they can to prevent them, but they're not perfect and they slip by all the time. Twitch.TV was recently attacked in such a manner, and any Twitch users that didn't have an ad blocker running were infected. Those who did didn't get the malware. So get one. Consider donating or buying from sites you like if you still want to support them, though.
Don't use IE. It's terrible. There's an assload of better browsers on the net, pick one you like and use that instead.
