It would be recommended:
1. Making your own food
2. Basic handyman type skills. Which ones exactly depend on where you are living and if you have a car.
3. You'd probably want to be able to sew, though that's not strictly necessary.
4. Money management, of course.
5. And the important one would be I think research savvy, so you can do a net search or find another good source of information for anything you don't know how to do.

dependable income.
ability to do without.
ability to share.
friends.
most importantly. wanting to be alone. depending on your income, you may not be able to afford to go places with friends. many people who live alone, often bail and take a room mate with a friend. living alone, sucks.

living alone aint too bad at all, you are the master of your abode, the king, the queen, you control your environment, oh yes.. the power!
when i first moved out i really wish i had've learned to cook some simple things. spaghetti bolognase with a ready made sauce was the first meal i did and ate a hell of a lot of it.. pasta, mince, sauce - nice and simple.
good luck

I'd say probably the most important thing would be internet access
entertainment systems
things for your hobbies
and some stuffed animals
well for me those are things i need
basically things to hug and keep you busy

If you live alone it's not that hard to keep your living invironment
clean or pick up after yourself. Paying bills that's the basics....
Crucial skills?
The ablity to communicate with a chick in your living room while one knocking on your front door and another one on your cell phone,
without any of them wanting to kill ya.
Or all of them conspiring to cut ur balls off...
You know you've mastered it, when 2 of the chicks are in bed with ya and the third one is racing across town against heavy traffic to join the fun.lol

money management, reiterating what above posters have said.
I highly recommend using online banking. I check up on my account balances daily. It takes like two minutes to see where I'm at, and only a couple of more on payday to sock part of my check in to savings. Remember, PAY YOURSELF FIRST. Buying gets you something that usually deteriorates and loses value. Saving gives you more value, or at least a tool to do something more with than buy the newest retarded cell phone when you ALREADY HAVE ONE. But that's another thread entirely.
Don't be an idiot and buy things on impulse, and try not to sell one thing just to be able to get another. That's an awful habit and gets you nowhere.
Aside from that, it's good to be able to cook and you'll eventually learn how to fix little things. Cleaning is optional, as far as I'm concerned.
