63/100
👎 Skip It
A sweet, practical little handbook a dad wrote to hand his kid before they move out — banking, taxes, renting, the stuff nobody teaches you. It's warm and useful but so short that each topic only gets a surface pass, and there's no outside review to confirm how well it holds up in practice.
