It's no big secret that life is an incredibly tricky thing. 

However, before you berate yourself for failing one more time, remember that it's like that for everyone: Hollywood A-listers, world-class scientists, Instagram influencers who fly to the Seychelles every other weekend, your mom, and even your elderly neighbor who seems so content all the time. 

We're all experiencing life for the very first time, and it would be foolish to believe that we're able to nail it without encountering a few rocky roads on our way – yet, a few life lessons from those who have gone a long way have never hurt anybody. 

“What is something that not a lot of people know [and] that if they knew it, would drastically improve their quality of life?” – this web user turned to one of Reddit’s most thought-provoking communities, asking its members to share their go-to piece of advice that would significantly enhance someone's quality of life. The post managed to garner over 1.6K upvotes as well as 1.5K comments revealing only the most life-changing tips.

    Black leather wallet with cash and credit cards, illustrating financial tips and hacks for living a better life. Always round down your paycheck. You made 433 this week. So 400. Always round up your bills. Take you highest monthly bills times 12 and that's an estimate for how much you need to live. Then take the lowest pay month and times that by 12. That's how much you make a year. Roughly. Bills fluctuate(heat electric etc)and your pay isn't always the same. IE sick days etc. This is the difference between what you can buy and what you can afford. If your pay is below or slightly over to those yearly bills you need to cut stuff or another job. This will help you estimate your financial status before it becomes a bigger problem.
