[Ingeration] "Being an Adult" Course

[StatusReport]

It's almost a year since I left home, living here in Jerusalem, and from time to time a thought about a course for "being an adult" pops in my mind.

The last time the thought popped was yesterday night, when I found out that our electricity bill is extremely large than it is supposed to be. So while walking like a ghost in the apartment on 1am while trying to forget about my insomnia, I found out that there are small letters in the bill that says the bottom line it is an "estimation" of our electricity usage (only it's a *7 one).

So, why are there colleges who teach about financial investments, raising babies and so on, but they don't teach you how to be a grown up?

I thought about these subjects as a basic discussion for a curriculum:

• How to deal with bureaucracy.
• Taxes.
• Contracts (work, rental, etc.).
• Fixing stuff in the apartment (such as blocked sink).
• Paying bills.
• Handling car issues (tests, bills, fixing basic problems).

If you think of something else, comment :)
