Roundtable: Adulting Know-How You Should Learn<\/b><\/p>\n

Do you know how to sew a button? Change a tire? Cook a roast? Make a budget? Sure, you\u2019ve mastered Instagram and Monster Hunter Wilds, but those skills won\u2019t help you when you have to host a dinner party, write a thank-you note or negotiate a car sale. Some life skills seem to be relics of the past, but there are useful things that our grandparents and parents learned that perhaps got lost in translation when they came to us. Our \u201cseasoned\u201d guests share some basic life skills that have proved immensely useful in adulthood \u2014 and how you can learn them yourself. Get ready to take notes, because things are about to get real.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
