Author Description

This is a constructive and down-to-earth guide to all the milestones you face in your twenties - first job, debt, considering pensions, redundancy, buying a place or renting, moving in together - and how to deal with them. Get It Together is structured in four parts - Work, Money, Housing and Relationships - and examines the problems they raise as well as providing lists of resources, helpful advice, and answers to the some of the questions most affecting people in their twenties - and beyond: How do you negotiate pay in your first job? Do you have to have a pension or should you just sell a kidney to buy a flat? How much debt is too much? and is it possible to be terminally single? After surviving his own quarterlife crisis, and interviewing hundreds of others in the same situation, Damian Barr has written a practical, reassuring and funny guide to sorting yourself out in your wilderness years.
