I want to learn the parts of mathemathics that will help me in life. Also what skills related to reasoning and mental math do you think are useful?

Not really a part of math, but probably learning basic Finance (accounting, valuation) and some probability/statistics could be useful. Nothing hardcore though.

None of that will make you rich obviously, but it's still useful.

Oh forgot about this:

Doing arithmetic in your head is very useful. Nothing special, just the classic old addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. Calculating percentages can be pretty useful too. Always check your answers though.

It will be useful if you make the high value job which require maths, like engineering or university research or statistic or economics and finance. Otherwise the very basic math is enough

Understanding probability/statistics is probably the most important skill that mathematics can offer the average person. Finance advice can be farmed out to experts, arithmetic can be done by your cell phone, but understanding probability could keep you from pissing your paycheck away gambling.

Hmm I'd say you should learn to do basic equations, especially physics related like electircity, gravity and other forces. So you can calculate for yourself how much Power a DIY Hydro electricity generator can produce etc.. SO really depends on what you want to do with math
