Hey guys! Have you ever heard about the golden financial rule? Don’t spend more than 30% of your income after taxes on rent. In fact, split your income 50-20-30. That means 50% goes to rent, food, and transportation altogether, 20% goes to savings, and 30% on what you enjoy. Or what about diving head-first into credit cards? Your parents might tell you it’s a good way to build your credit, but that’s only if you’re responsible with that magic plastic card. Ah… If I could go back in time and talk to myself at age 22! Not to sound like an “old guy dishing out all my wise advice to the youngin’s – heh heh”, but if you can still avoid some common money mistakes people make in their 20s, you’ll be doing yourself a big favor!

– Make all your payments on time, don’t open too many accounts at once, and keep the amount of credit you actually use as low as you can compared to your limit.
– The sooner you start putting money into a 401(k) or some other retirement account, the more time this money will have to gather interest and grow into some serious cash for your golden years.
– Although it’s nice when you can avoid taking out student loans in the first place, the sad truth is a lot of us are stuck with them for YEARS (even decades!) after we finish school. – Renter’s insurance will save you tons of money in case of a fire, flood, or break-in. – If your pay is really so miniscule that you can’t feed yourself, then it might be a good time to negotiate your salary look for something better, or even come up with a good side hussle…
– Yes, changing jobs is a risk, especially when you need money! But if there’s a skill you’ve always wanted to learn – do it now.
– It can seem uncomfortable to talk about money with your partner, but you have to do it if you plan to get serious with that person.
– Pets come with a whole slew of financial obligations, so only get one when you (and your bank account) are absolutely ready. – The biggest mistake people in their 20s make, is thinking they should have their financial and professional life already in order.

30 Foods You’ve Been Storing All Wrong
40% – that’s how much of the food you buy ends up getting tossed right in the garbage. 40%! Surprised? The culprit: improper storage. We are used to storing everything in our fridges: fruits, vegetables, sweets, breads. Some people also keep sauces, marinades, and cans in their fridges, just in case. But often, while storing foods like this might extend their shelf life, it can actually be harmful for the products. Did you know, for example, that tomatoes get even more flavorful and fragrant if you keep them at room temperature (about 70°F) or above? Or that onion and garlic prefer warmer temperatures, too? They’re also afraid of light and won’t like being kept in a sunlit kitchen. And guys, never keep fries in the fridge! French fries, or any fried potatoes for that matter, contain a substance that can become toxic when kept in low temperatures. So, let’s see what conditions best protect some common products in the kitchen, and save you some money! Other videos you might like:

Sugar 8:22
Chocolate 8:41 ๐ซ
Leftovers 9:01 #foodstorage #healthydiet #brightside SUMMARY:
– It’s much better to buy small portions of fresh tomatoes you can eat within a day. If you’ve grown them yourself, keep them on the low shelf of the fridge.
– If you’re going to cook them later, just put mushrooms in a paper bag and keep them in the fridge. If you need to store them longer, first wash them, and then dry or freeze them. – Don’t forget that meat is a possible source of different infectious bacteria. It can be stored in the fridge no longer than 2 days.
– Honey should be stored in a glass, ceramic, or metal container. The ideal place is dark and dry, so a shelf will do just fine as long as the cabinet has a door. – Contrary to what refrigerator manufacturers seem to think, it’s not a good idea to store eggs in the fridge door. Each time you open it, the eggs get exposed to lower temperatures in the air.
– Milk and yogurt also shouldn’t be kept in the fridge door – they spoil there faster than anywhere else. – The best place for grapes is a ventilated plastic bag like the one they’re kept and sold in at the store. – Apples shouldn’t be refrigerated. They’re also pretty finicky, so keep different kinds of apples separate from each other and put them in the pantry or cellar.
– Oils should be kept in a dark place at room temperature. If you can't find a dark place in your kitchen, wrap it in foil.
– Young carrots can be kept in a dark cool place where they’ll stay fresh and crisp for a long time.
– Watermelon (and regular melon) will keep better if you store it at room temperature. – Bread should be stored in a plastic ventilated bag, a cloth, or a paper bag, where it can stay soft for 5 days.
– Store tea and coffee in a dark dry place in a nontransparent container. Keep them away from food with a strong odor. – Chocolate should be stored at room temperature in a dry place that’s exposed to sunlight.
– It’s a big mistake to make soup or hamburgers for a whole week unless you’re going to freeze them. The longest time leftovers can be stored in the fridge is 5 days. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

The Only Way to Escape a Swarm of Bees
As “Save the Bees” projects have popped up everywhere – honeybees are necessary to our environment, after all – many people have turned into amateur beekeepers. Swarms are definitely a concern. The thing is, bees are pretty sophisticated when it comes to communication and their complex societies. They can send “help” signals to a swarm with their pheromones, which can travel surprising distances. Getting stung by a bee is the worst if you don’t count shark bites and some other things! How can something so tiny inflict so much pain? Can you imagine being attacked by a whole swarm of bees? You’re about to find out. Don’t panic! There are things you can do if you see a swarm and fear being attacked – and there are also things you shouldn’t do. Other videos you might like:

10 Bug Bites You Should Be Able to Identify https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN_uzGCaR0U
HOW ANIMALS SEE THE WORLD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ss-nmT7oAA TIMESTAMPS:
โ
DOs:
– Know when it’s prime-time for swarms 1:01
– Be able to recognize what kind of bee you’re dealing with 1:33
– If a swarm starts to chase you – RUN! 2:09
– Cover your head and face 2:35
– Seek shelter ASAP! 3:04
– Lights Out! 3:27
– If you do get stung… 3:56
– Light-colored clothing 4:28
– If you ARE wearing dark clothing, it can be a defense 4:52
– Know how to spot a potential hive site 5:12
– Pay attention! 5:45
โDON’Ts:
– Don’t swat at a bee 6:14
– Don’t jump into any water! 6:44
– Don’t leave any sweet stuff outside 7:10
– Don’t wear perfumes or scented lotions outside 7:34
– Don’t try to get rid of a hive on your own! 7:53 #bees #survivaltips #brightside SUMMARY:
– Just so you can be on the alert: honeybees breed in the springtime. This results in overcrowded hives, and a new queen bee may appear to rule over her new brood.
– When you first spot a swarm, don’t panic. Some honeybees are more territorial than others. The Africanized Honeybee is particularly territorial, and will defend its hive with its life. – Run away from the swarm in a straight line until the bees stop chasing you. You can outrun a swarm – just run as fast as you can.
– Whether you have a blanket with you from a picnic, a hood, or even your own shirt, use whatever you can to protect your face; especially your eyes. – A shelter with a door you can close is ideal – your house, your car, even a public restroom with a door if you’re at a campsite or nature preserve. – Turn off every light so that the only light source is from the windows. – Scrape the surface of the sting with a credit card or something similar. You’ll want to remove the stingers as soon as possible, so the venom won’t continue to spread. – Honeybees have evolved to detect dark colors, so light-colored clothing won’t appear as threatening to them.
– Any hidey holes or cracks should be filled around your home and in any outbuildings on your property.
– If you notice a bee or multiple bees aggressively bumping into you, a swarm and an attack might be on the way.
– Swatting at a bee with a newspaper, magazine, or flyswatter will cause the bee and the whole swarm to attack more aggressively. – Even though they can’t sting you in the water, they’ll just wait for you to get out or come up for air. – Bees love sweet stuff – from the flower nectar they look for, to your open can of soda. – Avoid lots of hairspray too guys. The sweet or flowery scent of these products will be irresistible to any bee.
– If you notice a hive near where you live, don’t call the A Team, call a bee professional. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

– Sort your expenses into categories (rent/utilities, groceries/personal expenses, and fun extra stuff), and make cuts where you can. – The average American spends $230 a month just on eating out! Fast food may seem cheap, but cooking at home is way more wallet-friendly. – Purchase more expensive foods like meat at a discounted price, and plan your menu around that. Buy in bulk when you can.
– If your brain is already on Sales Mode, then kick the savings up by hitting some thrift stores at the right time. – Instead of going to the store with your debit card in hand, try withdrawing cash in the exact amount you budgeted to spend. This will keep you in check if you’re tempted to make an impulse purchase. – The average person spends about $85 a month on cable. Satellite owners spend a bit more, topping off at $100 per month. – You should go second-hand with your car too. A brand-new vehicle loses 10% of its value during the first month of ownership, beginning immediately after you drive it off the lot.
– With all the extra money you’ll soon be saving, you can put the surplus towards an emergency savings fund. The minimum amount for this account should be $1,000. – There’s no greater bargain than receiving a whole new wardrobe for free, without having to step foot in a retail store! If certain hand-me-downs don’t work for you, simply pass them along. – Living with your folks can also help you save money for the future, whatever your plans might be. Owning your own home, traveling and seeing the world, it’s up to you.

Why Airlines Sell More Seats Than They Have
Imagine that you’ve bought plane tickets, say, half a year before the flight. You count down the days before the trip, pack a suitcase, and take a taxi to the airport. There’s a traffic jam on the way, so you don’t get there early enough to be first at the check-in desk. And yet you’re on time, so you give your passport to the employee and… You hear that check-in is closed, and there are no free seats left on the plane. Have you ever found yourself in an overbooking situation? It means that there are more passengers checked in for flight than seats on board the plane. It sounds crazy, but airlines usually sell more tickets than there are seats available on the plane on purpose. Having a ticket doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’ll be able to fly to your destination. Here's why it occurs, and what to do in case it happens to you. Other videos you might like:

Why No One Can Bring Liquids on a Plane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYWYaN5YlqI& TIMESTAMPS:
Why on Earth would they sell more tickets than seats? ๐ 1:04
How you can stand up for your rights 3:06
What you need to know about refunds in the US 3:34
… and in the EU 4:23
How to make the best of overbooking 5:21
What about charter flights? โ๏ธ 6:56 #airtravel #overbooking #brightside SUMMARY:
– To make up for the inevitable lost passengers, a lot of airlines use overbooking. They sell more tickets than available seats just to be on a safe side, and ensure the seats will be filled somehow.
– The airline staff can try to find volunteers who’ll agree to wait for the next flight in exchange for different perks. But if there are none, the passengers who were the last to check in won’t be allowed to board.
– Sometimes overbooking happens because of uncontrollable major circumstances.
– The carriers shouldn’t get away with overbooking, and have a responsibility to their clients. – In the US, if you wait for 2 hours or less, you’re entitled to 200% of your one-way fare to your final destination (maximum $675). If you wait 2-4 hours, you should get 400% of your one-way fare to your destination (maximum $1350) on domestic flights.
– In the EU, the compensation for shorter flights would be about $140 to $275, depending on the distance. For longer distances, the reimbursement would range from $220 to $445.
– You could also just claim the money for the ticket, or go back to the starting point of your trip if it’s a connecting flight. – Choose the most popular destination in a hot season. If there are several flights a day, the airline will bump extra passengers from the earlier flights onto yours. – Be the first to come to the check-in desk and ask the airline employee to put you on the list of volunteers to stay back in case of overbooking. – If you fly often with an airline of a certain alliance, and have their silver or golden bonus card, you can also benefit from overbooking.
– Despite all these perks, overbooking is more often a problem than a benefit. All these rules work for regular flights, but not for charter ones. -That’s why the best advice here is to be among the first passengers to the check-in desk.

Why Airlines Overbook Flights
Imagine that you’ve bought plane tickets, say, half a year before the flight. You count down the days before the trip, pack a suitcase, and take a taxi to the airport. There’s a traffic jam on the way, so you don’t get there early enough to be first at the check-in desk. And yet you’re on time, so you give your passport to the employee and… You hear that check-in is closed, and there are no free seats left on the plane. Have you ever found yourself in an overbooking situation? It means that there are more passengers checked in for flight than seats on board the plane. It sounds crazy, but airlines usually sell more tickets than there are seats available on the plane on purpose. Having a ticket doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’ll be able to fly to your destination. Here's why it occurs, and what to do in case it happens to you. Other videos you might like:

What about charter flights? โ๏ธ 6:56 #airtravel #overbooking #brightside SUMMARY:
– To make up for the inevitable lost passengers, a lot of airlines use overbooking. They sell more tickets than available seats just to be on a safe side, and ensure the seats will be filled somehow.
– The airline staff can try to find volunteers who’ll agree to wait for the next flight in exchange for different perks. But if there are none, the passengers who were the last to check in won’t be allowed to board.
– Sometimes overbooking happens because of uncontrollable major circumstances.
– The carriers shouldn’t get away with overbooking, and have a responsibility to their clients. – In the US, if you wait for 2 hours or less, you’re entitled to 200% of your one-way fare to your final destination (maximum $675). If you wait 2-4 hours, you should get 400% of your one-way fare to your destination (maximum $1350) on domestic flights.
– In the EU, the compensation for shorter flights would be about $140 to $275, depending on the distance. For longer distances, the reimbursement would range from $220 to $445.
– You could also just claim the money for the ticket, or go back to the starting point of your trip if it’s a connecting flight. – Choose the most popular destination in a hot season. If there are several flights a day, the airline will bump extra passengers from the earlier flights onto yours. – Be the first to come to the check-in desk and ask the airline employee to put you on the list of volunteers to stay back in case of overbooking. – If you fly often with an airline of a certain alliance, and have their silver or golden bonus card, you can also benefit from overbooking.
– Despite all these perks, overbooking is more often a problem than a benefit. All these rules work for regular flights, but not for charter ones. -That’s why the best advice here is to be among the first passengers to the check-in desk.

Someone very small, but very annoying. Insects. There are zillions of them, and most are innocent and scared out of their wits of the huge humans. But a few others can bite or sting you and cause real trouble. For example, almost all 40,000 different kinds of spiders are venomous. Don’t panic! Not for people. But there are 3 kinds of spiders whom you’d better avoid. Ticks aren't our friends either. They can infect people with encephalitis, borreliosis and other diseases.

Bee 7:48 #insects #bugbite #brightside SUMMARY:
– Brown Recluse spiders live in the Midwest and South of the central US regions. They choose houses, barns, and lofts, and can hide behind furniture or floorboards.
– The Black Widow lives in the whole territory of the country, usually outdoors in protected places, like heaps of stones or firewood. It has a red or orange hour-glass mark on the belly. – Tarantula’s bites are very rare and – thanks goodness !– New World tarantulas are not venomous. But if you try to disturb him on purpose, he can throw out needle hairs, which can cause an allergic reaction.
– A brightly colored swollen circle is usually a mosquito bite. It takes its final shape very quickly and doesn't change for a long time.
– When biting a human, mosquitos inject their saliva, which contains a blood-thinner, into the wound. This is what causes the swelling, redness and itching.
– An allergy to mosquito bites has the following symptoms: a single bite can cause an extensive rash on a big area of the body. – A body reacts to a tick’s attack with a red spot in the place of a bite. The insect can stay attached to the skin for a long time, sucking blood and increasing in size.
– The worst thing about ticks is that they can infect people with encephalitis, borreliosis (Lyme disease) and other diseases. – You’ll face the biggest danger of getting infected if you live in a region endemic in ticks’ infections, or visit it during their highest activity, from the middle of May till the end of September.
– If you've found a tick on your body, remove it with tweezers and go to the doctor, even if you feel ok.
– Bug bites look different. Some people don't notice them at all; others have a strong allergic reaction with itching and pain. – A bug bites through the skin, trying to feel for a suitable capillary. That’s why it often leaves a line of 5-7 bites in a row. – Itching is one of the nastiest effects of a bug’s bite. The bites can keep itching constantly, and be painful to the touch. – A bee can leave a stinger in the spot where it got you. You’ll have to extract it carefully. Bee stings aren’t dangerous if you don’t have an allergy to them.
– The intensity of pain depends on the person’s pain barrier. For people with a high barrier, it won’t be too much discomfort.
– Things are much worse if you have an allergy to apitoxin. The bite can lead to Quincke’s disease, and anaphylaxis, which is life threatening. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
