Came here to say learn to cook and always check Youtube before you give up.

Once talked to a younger kid who had just moved out, they were complaining that the cost of a BLT sandwich delivered to their house everyday for lunch was a crazy expensive 9ish dollars at the time, roughly their hourly wage. Yea, of course it is. 7-9 dollars will buy all of the ingredients to make that yourself all week (2015 dollars).

Youtube can teach you a lot more about cooking than a recipe and vague instructions alone. This is a fun channel I discovered during Corona Quarantine.

In addition, always check Youtube for tutorials/DIY videos before you call any repair service, even if it's covered by your rental agreement. Couple winters ago I was able to kick-start our furnace instead of waiting for the landlord to do something. You can practice on someone else's stuff before you get your own place; or, if you don't feel confident trying to fix it yourself see what should be done by whoever shows up.

Edit: and also have a box of cash you never touch, one day you will need it

Entire books have been written on this subject, always know where your towel is.

"If I had known how much work was involved, perhaps I never would have started.” Belgian photographer Barbara Iweins is thinking about the decision she made six years ago to photograph every object she owned. The project took four years and 12,795 photos later, her task was complete. Now her work is on show at the Cortona on the Move photography festival in Tuscany.
