I wrote this book because too many young people are being handed adult responsibilities without adult preparation. We celebrate graduation, help them pack, and tell them to make good choices, but many have never been shown how to read a pay statement, compare a job offer, understand a lease, examine a credit agreement, or ask for help before a problem becomes a crisis.
