What are some of the best personal finance tips you've ever received? I'm reading a book with some helpful, but pretty basic stuff. I wanna find the non-obvious things that I might be missing

Spend less than you make
You don't save money when you spend money
I.e. 10% off isn't saving 10% it's spending 90%

There is the finance side of PF and then there is the personal side of it. Psychology, motivation and emotions are involved with PF and it is not purely a knowledge game. You’ve got to know yourself and you your spouse (if applicable) and develop your routine and strategy around those things.

Max 401k and Live on the difference

Pay yourself first.
Max all retirement accounts.
Do not spend money you don’t have on things you don’t need.
A house is a place to live.
A car is a transport device.
Avoid debt. Interest does not take a Holiday.
Do not overdo lifestyle. Keeping up with the Jones’s is pointless.
Value your time.

automate your savings
Keep what you need for the month in your checking account. Set up your bank account to automatically transfer an amount from checking to savings on your payday. Don't give yourself the satisfaction of seeing a large amount in your checking account.

Eliminating debt provides a healthier lifestyle with lower stress and greatly enhances your job options as you are much more financially flexible and don't require a specific minimum income level to maintain.

The only time it matters what kind of car you drive is high school.

Saving money is important, investing it properly even more important. Everyone has their own ideas about what are the best investments, but a basic rule is never invest in anything you don't fully understand, if you cant explain to your spouse exactly how a investment makes you money and what the risk is find another investment vehicle that you do understand completely.
