Going to your first sleepover is a Big Kid Rite of Passage. It means you’ve officially crossed the threshold from “I go to playdates my mom set up” to “I have my own legit social life.”

Automation is one of the most important tricks to getting your finances in order. Having auto-deposits to a retirement or other investment account and transfers to a savings account are proven to get people to save more, while auto-bill pay can help individuals cut back on late fees and boost their credit scores.

Happy weekend, everyone, and welcome back to 3-Ingredient Happy Hour, the weekly drink column featuring super simple yet delicious libations. This week we’re making a classic (very strong) prohibition-era rum drink to help us forget some of the hard truths of this world, if only for a moment.

You can get away without having a primary care physician (PCP) for a while if you’re young, healthy, and a little bit stupid. But over time you’ll have enough health concerns that avoiding a PCP will make your life more complicated. Here’s how to know when you hit that point:

In work and in life, I love a script. If a repetitive type of interaction is part of your life—making a certain kind of small talk, having to send the same type of email with some frequency, making daily phone calls to clients or vendors or sources—why bother wasting mental energy coming up with fresh material every…

Another hell week draws to a close. Let us go prepare for the next hell week. Let’s relax with a shower, some Adderall, a glass of whiskey, and looking up our first names on Urban Dictionary.

I have made many a Thanksgiving main in my day, but one thing I have never messed with is the turducken. Nothing against the excessive gluttony of it all—eating three birds at once actually sounds like fun—I just value my time, and deboning three birds just to re-form them around each other takes up too much of it.…

Enlarging the font size on your phone is one of those famous old-people tech habits, like putting “...” all over your texts, or posting Facebook memes about sauerkraut. But it’s healthy for younger people too—it reduces eye strain, according to Intelligencer.

Thanksgiving is about spending time with those you love (or at least tolerate fondly), which is why the Lifehacker staff decided to gather for a staff turkey dinner. To make it extra special, I helped each staffer with their assigned dish, giving them little tips and tricks to make the meal, tastier, easier, and just…

Retirement savers can put an extra $500 aside in their 401(k)s and IRAs as the IRS adjusts for the annual cost-of-living for 2019.

I love overly dramatic cover songs, the kind you hear in movie trailers where some lady is stage-whispering “He did the mash, he did the Monster Mash” while the Inception sound blasts over shots of a robot wizard tornado. I play them in two moods: feeling extremely dramatic and pumped up, or feeling goofy. So I took a…

Ever find a few mystery pills in the bottom of your purse—or worse, in a place your kid or pet may have gotten into? Fortunately every medication has its own distinctive shape, color, and markings, so it’s possible to identify a lost pill. The Poison Control Centers have a pill identifier that can help.

If you’ve spent any time with teens, you know that they tend to be forgetful. It’s not that they don’t try, of course, but somehow remembering to change the toilet paper roll or empty the dishwasher escapes their brains.

Gmail contacts can be a little confusing—especially once you realize that the popular email service automatically dumps everyone you cyber-converse with into a big “Other Contacts” directory. That makes it easy to autocomplete emails to people Gmail thinks you might interact with again at some future point, but it…

$209 would be a really good price for a 325 watt, 5 qt. KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer, but today, that gets you a 6 qt. Professional model with a 575 watt motor that can stand up to the thickest doughs.

Lead is not something you want in your water, your food, or your personal care products. But until recently, the US FDA allowed lead acetate in one such product, a certain type of hair dye, on the basis of old studies that found it didn’t migrate from hair into the bloodstream.
