Synopsis: The ultimate adulting guide for every teen and young adult – empower yourself with over 15 life skills today! Let’s face it, adulting is hard. While this might sound like a cliché, it does ring with truth. The moment your childhood years come to an end, you face a transitionary period of life – the teenage years – when you have to figure out where you fit. And in all this, you also need to struggle with the idea of living independently, preparing yourself for the life ahead. Figuring out your career, managing your finances, and making sense of your whole life – very likely on your own – this period of your life easily becomes a headache. Think for a moment… how would you rate your skills in managing time, money, and your emotions – all on your own? Or how about navigating through everyday problems and achieving a balanced life without family support? According to a survey by the Bank of America, many teens and young adults agree that adulthood truly begins when you can live independently, find a job, pay for your expenses, and stop relying on your family for financial support. Unfortunately, throughout your school life, you are never handed a map that can help you navigate the challenges of adult life with ease.
