Most people don't wear glasses in the U.S., and we're not conditioned to finding men and women who wear glasses sexy. If you need your glasses to see, find a good optometrist who can outfit you with a great frame, thin lenses, and a high-quality anti-reflective coating. [2013] - Amy Webb

The prime booking window for airline tickets is somewhere between 20 to 120 days, with the best rates occurring around the 80 to 90 days from the flight. Airbnb pricing has a similar dynamic when you optimize for temporarily during dates with unusually high travel demand, such as when your city has a special event that draws a sudden influx of travelers. Unlike the airline industry however, you won't typically see a large price hike for Airbnb bookings within the final 2 weeks prior to a special event. As the event approaches, you should reduce your pricing to ensure a booking rather than risk having an empty listing during an otherwise busy weekend. For pricing your Airbnb during special events, start high and then steadily reduce your pricing as the date of the event approaches. [2023] - Symon He

Perhaps the greatest benefit of robo-advisors is that they automate almost everything. You can set up a regular monthly contribution and your cash is immediately invested, typically with no trading commissions. When the ETFs pay dividends, these are reinvested automatically as well. And if your portfolio drifts away from its target, the portfolio is automatically rebalanced. The cost of using a robo-advisor obviously varies among firms, but it's typically about 0.50%, and you can qualify for lower fees if your portfolio is large. That cost doesn't include the management fees on the ETFs themselves. One of the best features of robo-advisors is their extremely low minimums: you can often invest with as little as $1,000. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti

Make sure you put your photo on your business card. Your photo should also be on everything--letterhead, envelopes, thank-you cards--along with your logo and slogan. [2003] - Darryl Davis
