Life Skills to Learn

35 items

Most practical skills take an afternoon and a video, and the only reason people do not have them is that nothing ever forces the choice. Draw one and learn it this month. Thirty-five skills spanning the kitchen, the toolbox, the car and the paperwork nobody explains to you. Several will save real money within a year. Handed to a teenager it lands considerably better than a lecture about being prepared for the world.
