Years ago, I learned this tip the hard way.  If you ever rent a car, take a video of the vehicle before you drive it off the lot.  I didn’t.  And, I ended up paying for a scratch I don’t think I put on the car.  

Before you drive off with the rental car, open the camera app on your phone, switch to video, press record, and walk around the car.  

When you return, you will be able to prove you did not damage the car while you were driving around.  And, you do not have to delete a bunch of pictures on your phone.  You only have to delete one video.  

Speaking of cars, if you must own one (I am speaking to Americans) buy the cheapest, most reliable car you can and drive it into the dirt.  If you want to be financially free, remember, the average car is a money incinerator.

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week.  The tip of the week is usually something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier. 

If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email.   You will also get a free digital copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else).  Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/ and enter your name and email.

If you want to buy the digital book instead (because you just feel like buying me a cup of coffee) go here: https://dwanethomas.gumroad.com/l/fzixlh

If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7.  I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg.  If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful.  To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/

If you want a more professionally filmed Latin learning experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.

Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up!  Warning.   Word Up! is a bit wacky.  You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too. 

I teach other languages on my site, too.  The current schedule is here: https://dwanethomas.com/schedule/
