Your First Place: Stuff You Should Know But Probably Don't.: Essential Home Skills for Young Adults Moving Out on Their Own

By M.J. Stone

Congratulations - You Finally Moved Out. Now What?

Your first place is exciting, until something leaks, clogs, breaks, or smells like a science experiment.
If nobody ever taught you how to keep your fridge from turning into a biohazard, fix a dripping faucet, or get your security deposit back, you're not alone.

Your First Place: Stuff You Should Know But Probably Don't is your no-nonsense survival guide for living on your own, without wrecking your apartment, your wallet, or your sanity.

Inside, you'll learn:

How to clean so your place doesn't get disgusting

The only tools you actually need, and how to use them without destroying your walls

Quick fixes for everyday problems: clogged sinks, jammed drains, & small repairs

What to know about bills, leases, landlords, and getting your deposit back

Easy kitchen basics so you don't live on takeout (or regret last week's leftovers)

No lectures. No guilt. Just simple, real-world home skills you can actually use.

Who's it for?

Young adults (18-30) moving out for the first time

College students in dorms or shared rentals

Anyone who wants to stop Googling "how to unclog toilet" at 3 AM
