Description

Each year, thousands of young New Zealanders leave home to embark on the great flatting adventure. For many it signals the start of one of the most exciting, liberated times in their lives. For others, chaos and recklessness reign, resulting in gargantuan overdrafts and student loans, malnourishment, and inappropriate interpersonal relations. As appealing as this sounds, there are serious downsides to flatting failures - neglect of study or work, crises of confidence, abject misery and - in the worst case scenario - return to the parental fold. This book is designed to prevent these misfortunes and more.
