LOL, you know, I never thought of it that way, but you're right....

Cooking and sewing on buttons are useful skills, but only if you can 
afford the equipment for either of those activities. :-)

Money management definitely should fall in there somewhere.  How to 
balance a checkbook, schedule payments, do financial planning, set goals 
and figure out how to meet them.....I'm sure there are others.
