24. If you're bored at home and hate it, move to Brooklyn. Stuck on another crowded subway and hate it - move to a college town in the mountains. The city you live in has a massive impact on your life. If you're single, consider also the dating market and gender ratio of singles.

27. Do blind tastings of wines, then just keep buying the $10 bottle one you like best. Novelty is good, but let's be honest: you can't really tell different Malbecs apart that much. But buy great wine glasses - they last much longer than the bottle.

28. Put art on all your walls. If you can't afford originals, buy prints. Can't afford prints, buy posters. The selection criterion is a piece that you can stare at for at least 10 minutes straight the first time you see it. When you find better art, take down the old stuff.

31. Set a pile of bills on fire. Watch your partner kiss someone. Go to an open mic and bomb. Observe in precise detail how you feel. You will learn that your emotions are much more complex than "this is bad and painful", and they're often quite unexpected.

34. If you've been waiting for months for someone to create an event and invite you, whether a book club or a BDSM orgy, just throw one yourself. Most social scenes suffer from lack of initiative, not excess.

48. Shower in the evening instead of the morning. You'll sleep much better when you're clean, your muscles are relaxed, and your body cools after a warm shower. And if you don't sweat at night (keep the bedroom cool) you'll be clean in the morning.
