We have enough problems — going broke doesn't have to be one of them.

We hope you love the products we recommend! Just so you know, BuzzFeed may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.

1. A pack of water bottle cleaning tablets that'll FINALLY reach the bottom of yours without the need for scrubbing — goodbye mysterious smell.

2. An all-natural charcoal teeth-whitening powder for looking like the epitome of perfect dental hygiene even if you haven't flossed since 2005.

3. A stainless steel jar opener, because there is nothing more tragic than not being able to eat your pickles when the %&*@ lid won't come off.

4. A pack of makeup removing cloths so you can wipe off even waterproof eyeliner and mascara away faster than you can dive into bed — not to mention this'll save you $$$ on disposal makeup wipes.

5. A duo of soft silicone bra strap cushions that'll end the lifelong feeling of something digging into your shoulder. I can already feel the ahh coming my way 🙏.

6. A flat colander for both catching food scraps and washing fruits and veggies a heck of a lot easier while you cook — adulting is hard enough, why add cleanup to the list?

7. A bottle of Bio-Oil, because it's essentially a one-step solution to gently exfoliating your way to an even skin tone. Acne scars? Stretch marks? I don't know her.

8. A TubShroom — aka literally the best (and most popular) thing since sliced bread — so you'll never have to stand in water while showering again.

9. A habit-breaking polish that'll save your poor fingernails and cuticles from your biting at long last. Maybe now we'll stop getting yelled at when at the nail salon?

10. A pack of velvety hangers for successfully keeping your silky clothes off the freaking closet floor. GOOD LUCK, satin camis. You will not escape me this time.

11. A pair of anti-UV glare computer glasses, because blue light is definitely responsible for at least some of your headaches at work. Maybe emails are easier to handle when seen through ~amber-colored~ glasses?

12. An all-natural headache and migraine relief balm with aromatherapy benefits so you can feel soothed in a much shorter time than usual.

13. A bottle of Fanola purple shampoo that'll neutralize yellow tones left from pigment residue after bleaching or lightening, and brighten your hair to platinum blonde — all in just one to three minutes.

14. A headlight restoration system for solving your ~glaring~ problem of driving at night with dim guidance. This three-step process will have those roads perfectly visible again.

15. A stainless steel spinner ring, because you'll always have something *on hand* to fidget with instead of picking at your cuticles (or whatever you do when bored or nervous).

16. A tub of Aztec healing clay so you can deep-cleanse your pores like there's no tomorrow and kiss even the toughest, cystic breakouts GOODBYE. Did I mention the 13,166 Amazon five-star reviewers who got their acne under control with this?

17. A toothpaste squeezer dispenser stand that'll help you get every last drop. We're millennials, aka on a budget ok? And usually $10 wine beats out more toothpaste for the week.

18. A 10 foot iPhone charger for giving you all the freedom in the world to scroll through Instagram, no matter which side of the bed you prefer. Unless your bed is obscenely large.

19. And! A quirky cable accessory to prevent your precious cord from disconnecting or damaging (frayed wires = heartbreak).

20. A Kohler sink and countertop squeegee, because spills and crumbs should only be an inconvenience for .05 seconds.

21. A pet hair removal glove so you can a) have a good excuse to pet your dog or cat for hours and b) save your couch from the current layer of fur decorating it. ~Furry chic~ is not in, sorry.

22. A wine stain removing spray that'll help avoid any nights out from going sour. I'm not sure who trusted me with a glass of merlot, though.

23. A credit-card sized pack of biodegradable flossers for getting spinach out of your teeth no matter where you are. Maybe next time you'll have pizza instead of salad.

24. An adjustable bed sheet fastener, because making your bed every morning shouldn't involve wrestling with your mattress. This will make your bed sheets stay 👏put👏.

25. A lightweight, long-lasting face powder so oily T-zones, acne, and scars are basically nonexistent from the minute you put it on. If 24/7 shine control and steadfast makeup sounds good to you, then you just found yourself a new best friend.

26. A pack of super-soft foam earplugs that'll block out the noise of your roommates playing COD at 12 a.m. while you try to memorize your bio textbook overnight.

27. A roll of eco-friendly, reusable bamboo towels for both nixing overspending on regular paper towels and for cleaning up messes a whole lot faster thanks to their absorbent material. AND they're good for the earth! Everybody wins.

28. A bottle of Eos lavender shaving cream, because this ultra-moisturizing formula (hello, shea butter, vitamins C and E, green tea, and grape seed extract) will be your savior if you always forget to put on lotion after showering. Oh, and razor bumps? You can forget them, too.

29. A set of silicone stove counter gap covers so you can bake cookies to your heart's content without worrying about crumbs falling through the cracks and attracting ants. Did I scare you enough yet? Cookies + gap cover = no scary ants.

30. A pack of reusable silicone stretch lids that'll both allow you to continue to be lazy AND feel like a successful adult. You can stretch these babies over everything — half-cut fruit, bowls, blenders, whatever. So long, annoying containers.

31. A can of fume-free oven cleaner for successfully wiping away tough baked-on spills (my worst nightmare: fallen lasagna) or messes that...have been there awhile. Either way, they don't stand a chance.

32. A bottle of extra-strong antiperspirant, because some of us are just extra-sweaty people and regular deodorant just doesn't cut it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But this will make sweat stains a thing of the past — even when put up against the NYC subway.

33. A jewelry cleaner solution so you can bring diamonds, birthstones, gold necklaces, and WHATEVER back to life. They were expensive, so you deserve to have them shine forever!

Staying under budget **and** solving all your problems? Is this what being an adult feels like?
