Came here to say learn to cook and always check Youtube before you give up.
Once talked to a younger kid who had just moved out, they were complaining that the cost of a BLT sandwich delivered to their house everyday for lunch was a crazy expensive 9ish dollars at the time, roughly their hourly wage. Yea, of course it is. 7-9 dollars will buy all of the ingredients to make that yourself all week (2015 dollars).
Youtube can teach you a lot more about cooking than a recipe and vague instructions alone. This is a fun channel I discovered during Corona Quarantine.
In addition, always check Youtube for tutorials/DIY videos before you call any repair service, even if it’s covered by your rental agreement. Couple winters ago I was able to kick-start our furnace instead of waiting for the landlord to do something. You can practice on someone else’s stuff before you get your own place; or, if you don’t feel confident trying to fix it yourself see what should be done by whoever shows up.
Edit: and also have a box of cash you never touch, one day you will need it
Valid caveat.
