Long story short, I am a young adult and I want to move out of a toxic household immediately. But I feel that my life experience is lacking and I am naive. I do not know a single thing about adulting, particularly to do with legal and law matters.
Examples like how to open a bank account, the path to financial literacy/independence, how to be savvy and talk my way out of situations with people, how to negotiate, how to spot scams and hidden motives, etc etc. Just how to survive on my own in the world.
What nonfiction books can I read that can help me improve in this aspect? Essentially, books of quality advice for life skills, with information/strategies that I can apply practically. I really want to be financially independent and move away from this toxic family for good. Any recommendation is appreciated!
