I know the theory behind making a campfire, but I've never had the patience to actually do it.

I'm 29, I can't drive because of a medical condition. Prior to that I just never bothered, so I'd probably not have a license even without the condition.

It could be taught in 10 minutes, if you are using a lighter. Starting fire with only nature is another story. A story I haven't read

Definitely not as financially responsible as I should be, I've always had enough, but I've put myself in a lot of avoidable stressful situations.

Lol. Our common areas are piling up. I literally never know how much I have but I always scrape by. And I've paid bills the day they would of added all the extra fees. Just out of laziness...I might be worse than what you're talking about lol

It's similar, I've been like 8000 miles since an oil change and decide to put it off to do something that is definitively "blowing money on unnecessary shit" like getting a piercing. I do keep a budget for essentials and load my checking account accordingly, I check my accounts almost every day, and I do have savings built up a bit, but if I have extra money in checking I'm not cautious with it at all. Like if I have $40 or 50 in there by the time I get paid again, I can be happy with that. I've gotten better as I've become more long term oriented lately, I used to just run it all out before the next payday and didn't have savings at all, but I still spend a lot on things I don't need or use. One thing, is I was buying 2-5 games per month, but most weeks I game for less than 4 hours so I hardly ever start what I buy, and even more rarely finish it. It's been a few weeks since I bought a new game tho, and I'm planning to not buy anything until the weather gets bad, mostly just I definitely plan to get TLoU2 after I finish the first one, which should be before winter lol.

Word. I also cut my budget down in that area. I use to buy anything with a decent sale even though I had no plan to play it in the near future.

I got stimulus, but I put it in savings and pretended I didn't. I still work full time too. When I'm "broke", it means I'm out of the money I'm willing to spend, not all balances $0. I just recognize that I should be saving even more since spending on things I don't use or need is adding needless stress and holding me back.

Probably car mechanics, I can change a tire, change the oil, change the air filter, fill tires with air, add oil, window washing fluid, transmission fluid, etc. I don't know much beyond that.

I can swim, cook, garden, raise livestock, sew, drive, start a campfire, have survival skills taught by boy scouts and the military. I can do minor construction projects, basic home repair, basic plumbing knowledge, I've fixed electronics including an Xbox, rewired a lamp, installed a ceiling fan. I can solder and weld.

Dem parallels. You have some the similarities I actually like and respect about myself tho. So, that's good. Might more so be as simple as just doing what feels like the right thing.
