Specifically thinking of stuff that make your life better in the long run but all kinds of answers are welcome!

I’ve recently learnt about lifetraps and it’s made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

    One for people in the US:

    You aren’t taxed at the higher rate for all of your income when you get a raise that puts you in a higher tax bracket, only the part that is in the range of that bracket specifically. The rest of your income below the bracket is taxed the same as before.

    I’ve seen a lot of people decline promotions and raises over this, and bosses are very happy to let you continue thinking that’s how it works.

    Not sure if that counts as not common knowledge, but a lot of people I know didn’t know it before.
