Having a IRA or 401k.

I'm 40 and the amount of people who kinda know what a IRA is is terrifying. Like, you're gonna die in poverty.

This one is sort of very specific and niche, but as a caregiver of someone with an ostomy, you can take a roll of this disposable plastic produce bags from the grocery store. Terrible for use as a produce bag because they're plastic and disposable and whatnot, but for bag empties when you need to use something disposable no matter what? They're invaluable.

Also doggy poop bags. Great for that. Just grab one of the small almost empty rolls, and tell the cashier "I'mma take these" and no one gives a shit

Knock your knuckles against your car door to zap static electricity on something less sensitive.

Store your toothbrush rolled in a piece of sanitary paper. It's so much cleaner than having it laying around, where dust gets on it.
