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.

I love visiting NYC, but you couldn't pay me to live there. I have friends I stay with when I'm there, and they take 45-minute showers because that's the only time they get any real privacy.

There are one bedrooms and studios for < $2k in brooklyn. They might not be fancy, but they exist.

That might be more than other places, but you have to factor in you don't need a car here. So that's $10k/year saved (though I think it's about $2k/year if you max out your transit rides before they become free every week).

You'd have to pay me a shit load of money for me to consider living somewhere that isn't walkable.
