An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!
ULPT Rules:
- Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
- Tips must provide some benefit to you.
- Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
- No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
- No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

Don't forget to also use that leave to take care of yourself mentally and physically. It's not worth it to skip on enjoying your life now in favor of more money when you retire.
Of course. I also take almost a month's worth of vacation every year. The way my shift schedule rotates I can often take a single day off and go away for more than a week, making it easy to accrue leave if I'm only slightly picky with my schedule. The last few years I've started to pick up skiing.
I was sick for several weeks last year, which sucked but my sick leave covered it easily. That will get me 5% on my pension per year accrued at retirement and I'm still on pace to get a year. Partial years are counted but that's the easy number to remember
During the entirety of the pandemic we obtained free leave for a positive COVID test for the duration of the illness.
