A New Way to Invest is Delivering Big Results

VCs back startups for outsized returns. Everyday investors wait. But rule changes fixed that. Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 people averaged a $2,370 stake. Today? Its valuation is up 89,900%. No wonder 10K+ people and the investors behind Uber and Venmo are taking the chance on Pacaso. Founded by a former Zillow exec, they’ve made $110M+ in gross profit to date.

1. Foggy Headlights? Grab the Toothpaste

If your headlights are looking more “candlelight” than “spotlight,” toothpaste can save the day.

Just squeeze a bit on a cloth, rub it in a circular motion, and watch as the foggy haze clears up. Why does it work? Toothpaste has mild abrasives that polish away grime.

The result is a safer night driving and headlights that shine like new, for less than a dollar. Bright ideas don’t always come from fancy products!

2. Jar Lid Won’t Budge? Use a Rubber Glove

We’ve all been there, staring down a stubborn jar lid like it’s your mortal enemy. Instead of hurting your hands or asking someone else, slip on a rubber glove.

It gives you just the right grip and lets your full strength do the work. Suddenly, that “impossible” jar pops right open. Simple, effective, and oddly satisfying.

3. Need an Ice Pack? Freeze a Sponge

Next time you need an ice pack and don’t have one, wet a sponge, slip it in a zip-top bag, and pop it in the freezer.

It’ll freeze solid but stay flexible, molding perfectly to whatever sore spot needs relief. The best part? It’s drip-free, reusable, and eco-friendly.

Comfort doesn’t always come from the pharmacy, it can come from your kitchen sink too.
