Guide to living on your own

Name: Anonymous 2008-10-07 5:40

You know those books that are more or less guides on how to do everyday stuff like folding clothes, making coffee, etc?

Can anyone name a few?

As a young male living alone with little life experience, seconding this request.

Ask your mother or grandmother for one of those old "housewives' remedies" kind of books they made in the fifties or thereabouts.

OP here.

Option 1: Ask mommy how to do 200+ things, then ask again when I forget.
Option 2: Google each individual how-to guide, but having to sift through 50 "how to make fancy-ass latte" guides before finally finding a "how to make normal coffee using a normal coffee machine" guide.
Option 3: Spend $30 or less on comprehensive guide on all basic things, even things that I didn't even realize would be necessary.

"Where's Mom/Dad now that I need her/him?" are two books that are exactly what you're looking for.
