"It's never too late to learn something new, but there are some common, everyday skills you should probably become familiar with sooner rather than later. Recently, a Reddit user asked those in the Reddit community to share the life skills that everyone should know before turning 30, and as a 27-year-old, I need to know if you agree with these or not. Here are some of the skills adults think you should learn ASAP: 1. "Everyone should know how to change a flat tire. It sounds boring, but trust me, you don't want to be stuck on the side of the road waiting for help.""
"Honestly, I probably should learn how to properly do the Heimlich maneuver. If you're an adult, what do you think is a skill that everyone should learn before turning 30? Let us know in the comments, or you can anonymously submit your thoughts using the form below! Note: Some submissions have been edited for length and/or clarity."
Practical, everyday skills improve safety and independence for adults. Changing a flat tire prevents long roadside waits and reduces reliance on external help. Knowing the Heimlich maneuver can stop choking emergencies and save lives. Additional useful abilities include basic first aid, simple car maintenance, and emergency preparedness. Regular practice and occasional refreshers help retain these hands-on skills. Building a small core of reliable abilities increases confidence, speeds responses in urgent situations, and reduces avoidable stress and expense. Sharing skills with peers spreads preparedness and creates more resilient communities.
