Life Skills for Young Adults: How to Manage Money, Find a Job, Stay Fit, Eat Healthy and Live Independently. Everything a Teen Should Know Before Leaving Home (Essential Life Skills for Teens) Paperback – May 25, 2022

This is EXACTLY the sort of book I wish I had available to me when I was ready to leave home. I was filled with all sorts of braggadocio and I knew everything I needed to get out the door..............and then was introduced to the 'school of hard knocks'From discovering how to budget and manage your money, to learning how to cook and eat healthy food, to figuring out how to start a career, this book has something to teach even the most well rounded youngster. These aren't in-depth discussions about every aspect of how to live your life, but these ARE a great starting point and with the knowledge provided here, and a little bit of common sense, you can survive early adulthood and move towards a more fulfilling life.Life is a series of learned events, usually set it motion through observing the people we respect, but not everyone can be everywhere at once and this book can and does fill in a bit of this and a bit of that, often inspiring a conversation that will provide more opportunities to share life lessons and avoid some of the bumps and bruises life has to offer.As a grandparent watching his oldest grandsons get ready to leave the nest, I found this book to be a helpful way to share my experiences in a way that goes well beyond "because I said so" and reaches into the 'how' and the 'why', even explaining the reasoning, all without seeming to meddle in their affairs.Unlike childhood where you can stomp your feet, declare 'that's not fair' and receive an immediate 'do-over', real life doesn't offer that and it's best to be prepared for what life is going to bring you. This book does that.

Bought for grandchild's 16th birthday.Over view of life skills and steps to becoming a young adult

My son overall liked the book, but did say quite a few things listed he already knew.

I love this book I think everyone who is 18+ should get there hands on this it gives a lot of good tips and ones that you never thought about until you read the book. Overall I would totally recommend this book I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

This is a great book full of life skills. the opening up managing your money and budgeting. The book is full of 100 everyday life skills that we need in order to function. ones that we might not have been taught growing up. the most significant chapter for me was on the money and I had to deal with stress and anxiety.

This booklet is a good read for teens to get the most important facts about how to manage their finances. It offers great tips for everybody, too.

Bought for my God daughter who is starting out life. I wish they would teach this in school. Has great tips not only for young adults but adults as well.

Some of the information is inaccurate or out of date such as the food pyramid. Much of should have been learned long before they are ready to leave home. But some of it such as the simple recipes and the cleaning solutions are useful. I wish the author had spent a little time to address teens with disabilities and other special circumstances. All in all a decent book but the author could have done so much more.
