Help, I'm Moving Out of Home
ByPublisher Description
Moving out of home for the first time is one of life's biggest milestones — exciting, overwhelming, and full of questions nobody thought to warn you about.
How do you cook rice? What's a bond? How do you get rid of mould? What do you do when the toilet breaks at midnight?
Help, I'm Moving Out of Home is the handbook every young person needs and every parent wishes they'd had. Written by a dad who has rented across multiple states, made plenty of mistakes, and learned from every single one of them, this practical, friendly guide covers everything from signing a lease and stocking a pantry, to laundry, budgeting, mental health, basic first aid, car maintenance and even how to tie a Truckie's Hitch.
This isn't written by an expert with qualifications on the wall. It's written by someone who has genuinely been there — and wants to make your transition into the world a little smoother than his was.
The perfect gift from parent to child on moving day — because love doesn't always look like a hug. Sometimes it looks like knowing how to cook rice.
Because knowing how to cook rice, pay your bills and tie down a load shouldn't have to come from a panic phone call home at midnight.
