About

Living on your own, minus the expensive mistakes.

Moving out is exciting and a little terrifying. Nobody hands you a manual for leases, deposits, first paychecks or what to do when the sink clogs at 11 pm. That's what this is.

What you get

One short, practical tip every weekday as a YouTube Short, plus a page here that explains it properly. Tips are grouped into six topics: Money & Bills, Lease & Renting, Kitchen & Food, Clean & Care, Fix It Yourself and Life Admin.

How we check tips

Tips with numbers, rules or money involved link to their source. Rules for renting, taxes and insurance differ by state and province, so we say when something depends on where you live. This is general information, not legal or financial advice.
