Basic car maintenance skills is hugely important. Just getting your car serviced, properly inflated tires and toping off fluids is something that is simple to learn and easy first steps to start with.
Bike maintenance, too!
Oh, please!
I won't be caught dead on a bicycle and neither will be my children. They don't need to know 'bike maintenance'. I'm glad you're getting your exercise through biking, but we're just fine using a stationary bike, thankyouverymuch.

The Mr. Money Mustache is not a bad forum to expose
an 17-18 year old to. Many people from humble
beginnings become millionaires.
The forum is about living within your means and not
getting over extended financially.

To the poster who made fun of bike riding...
Kid is a foster kid who might not be able to get a car loan
at 18. There is nothing wrong with riding a bike to work.
It is good for the environment. Heck, it is pushed
on the Mr. Money Mustache forum as a way to become
a millionaire. My boyfriend rides a bike to work at
age 60 by choice.
