The problem

You were never actually taught any of this.

School spent years on things you've never used. Meanwhile the practical stuff — how rent works, what your rights are, how to handle money — was left to chance.

Most people figure it out the hard way. A missed bill. A deposit they never got back. A right they didn't know they had.

HowDoYouDoThat? fixes that. Short, clear video guides for the real-world stuff — whenever you need it, however old you are.

🏠
Signed a tenancy agreement without reading itFound out later your landlord never protected your deposit. You had grounds to claim 3× back.
💷
Wrong tax code for 8 monthsNobody told you to check it. You were overpaying HMRC the whole time.
🔧
Called a plumber for a blocked sink£120. Took 4 minutes with a £3 tool from B&Q. You just didn't know.
⚖️
Didn't know you could go to small claims courtIt costs £35. You can represent yourself. You would have won.

What members say

The stuff that actually changes things.

"I signed my first tenancy without reading it properly. Six months later I found out my landlord never protected my deposit. Wish I'd had this before I moved in."
TM
Tom, 24
Manchester
"I used the move-in checklist and photographed everything. When my landlord tried to keep £400 of my deposit for 'damage,' I had dated photos proving it was already there. Got every penny back."
KA
Kezia, 23
Bristol
"I was spending £400 a month on food for one person. Turns out I just didn't know how to shop or plan. The food pack got it to £180 within a month."

Questions

Common ones.

No — our guides explain your rights and options in plain English based on current UK law and practice. They're not a substitute for professional legal or financial advice. Where a situation is complex, we always point you toward the right professional or free service.
Not at all — while a lot of the content is especially useful when you're starting out, plenty of people in their 30s, 40s, and beyond have never been taught this stuff either. There's no age requirement on not knowing how to bleed a radiator.
Yes — all guides are written for England and Wales. Some rules differ in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and we flag this clearly where relevant.
Videos are available to stream any time from your dashboard. Checklists and resource sheets are fully downloadable as PDFs — keep them on your phone and use them in real life.
Cancel any time from your account settings — no hoops, no phone calls, no awkward retention flows. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.
