Summary
Get ready to live independently by learning these essential life skills.
Do you plan to move out of your parents’ house soon, but you have doubts if you can really stand on your own?
Are you afraid that you don't have the skills necessary to deal with emergencies at home and on the road?
Do you feel you’re too dependent on your parents who do everything for you that you don’t know how to do them yourself?
Adult life is full of challenges, and the best time to prepare for it is before you become one.
Just like how school trains you for the professional world, you also need to train yourself for the demands of adulthood.
From cooking your own food and fixing your own car, to managing your finances and taking care of yourself—these are essential skills you need to know if you want to become a fully-functioning adult someday.
As much as you may want to just let your parents keep doing things for you, learning to do them yourself will make you feel more confident about yourself and your ability to accomplish more in life.
Plus, you’ll also make your parents proud.
Whether you want to stop relying on your parents for every little thing, or you want to make it on your own, this book can help you achieve your goal.
Inside, here’s just a fraction of what you will discover:
- Why self-care should be your top priority—and different ways to practice it.
- How to manage your finances, avoid unnecessary expenses, and grow your money.
- Five easy ways to sneak some physical activity into your day even if you’re busy with your schoolwork.
- Tips and tricks to cut costs on grocery shopping.
- Basic household repair skills so you can fix things yourself without having to call (and pay) for help.
- Why it’s wise to invest early—and what you should invest in.
- Seven interpersonal skills you must have to succeed in life—and how to hone them.
- Practical car repair skills to save money—and how to deal with road emergencies on your own.
- What you need to do to get a job even if you don’t have a relevant experience.
- How to stay safe when you’re home alone at night.
- And much more!
This guide doesn’t only teach practical skills for you to survive, but also the right habits to build so you can thrive in life.
Learning all these early on will prepare you for adulthood and help you set yourself up for success.
