Moving out on your own is a big step. While it can be exciting, there are times when it may be overwhelming. However, it’s important to remember—even though you’re by yourself, you’re not alone.

For times when you don’t want to pick up the phone and ask a friend or family member for guidance on learning a new skill or how to fix something, you can turn to the internet.

In this article, we’ll share a list of websites that can be helpful to those who recently moved out.

Instead of replacing your broken tech, appliances, or other household items, why not save some money and see if you can fix it yourself? iFixit provides plenty of content that will help you do just that.

There, you’ll find Repair Guides and Answer Forum covering various DIY fixes from clothing to automotive. The site follows a step-by-step method with photos to help you along the way. You can also buy all the replacement parts you'll need.

While you’re there, if you find repairing tech is something you’re passionate about, it also offers a series of teardowns that let you see what’s inside your favorite devices and a blog featuring tech repair news.

Whether it's decor or you’re looking to make something yourself instead of buying, Instructables is the place to be. There, you’ll find a range of projects from DIY tech and woodworking to crafts and cooking.

It’s also an excellent destination for upcycling projects with plenty of inspiration and tutorials on reusing items that may otherwise go in the trash. Additionally, if you’re unsure how to get something in your home clean, it offers plenty of tips and tricks to help you get there.

The Spruce Eats offers many resources on learning to cook, starting with the cooking basics that are helpful for everyone to master.

The idea behind the page is to start with making some small dishes for yourself and using what you’ve learned to make other recipes, expanding your experience.

As you get more comfortable with these basics, it’s worth checking out the rest of the site. It offers recipes for everyone by meal type, region, or occasion—you can also search by ingredient if you found a great sale or have something you need to use up.

A library of how-tos will help keep you learning beyond the basics, as well as a What to Buy? guide when looking for food or items for your kitchen.

Beyond recipes, you’ll find answers to other domestic questions on The Spruce Pets and The Spruce Crafts, or the main website The Spruce, that includes resources on decor, gardening, renovations, cleaning, and more.

Whether you’re a master chef or you’re mastering the basics, it’s helpful to have a handful of go-to recipes for busy days. While they may take a bit longer the first time you cook them, these are recipes you know you can cook well and make quickly.

RecipeTin Eats is an excellent place to look for go-to recipes. Nagi, the site's creator, focuses on fast yet fresh meals. The recipes there also use everyday ingredients, which is especially helpful if you're new to cooking and shopping.

There’s a lot of information you can find about nutrition, just be mindful of the source. Nutrition.gov is available to help you find credible resources that cover topics like diet, exercise, and nutrition.

There, you’ll find plenty of articles, recipes, and tools to help you learn and make healthy choices. Additionally, it offers an expert FAQ section that may address one of your own queries.

Intuit offers a suite of financial tools to help you do your taxes and QuickBooks to help you with your accounting. The company also owns Mint, a tool that helps you with your finances.

You can sign up via the website to connect your bank accounts, credit cards, and other accounts like PayPal. Doing this will help you track your income and spending.

Additionally, you can connect your billing accounts for reminders to pay your bills and alerts if your account is low close to a bill’s due date.

It’s helpful to know how much you need to pay in bills per month, what you’ll need to set aside for expenses like groceries, and how much you’ll have left to spend on things like entertainment.

The Balance will help you understand how to make a budget, so you can avoid missing any payments and worry less about what’s in your account—because you’ll be on top of your finances.
