I am asking this question because the young adult in question, is me. I am to move out in a few years, and it feels impossible to move far away from my hometown (which I want). I have no idea how to juggle both finances, a job, and the move itself. With the global inflation going on, it feels impossible getting hold of a decent apartment to rent.

What advice would you give someone like me? What should I keep in mind and prepare* myself for? What are your experiences moving out, or moving away from your hometown? How long did the process take for you, and how did you manage keeping a job that paid all your taxes and rent? If you could look back and give younger you some advice, what would you tell them?

(If it provides any context, I am North European.)

    @C4d @scytale It’s nice when people actually know how to take care of a knife. It’s WAY MORE IMPORTANT to know how to cook, shop, and plan meals, but there are two basic things you should know:

    - Don’t drag the blade along the fucking cutting board! Stop it. Use the back (spine) instead when pushing food off
    - Swipe it along the honing rod at a 15-30 degree angle every now and then when you notice it feeling sluggish or dull - look it up if you’re not sure
