Life After 18

Life After 18 Teaching things you don't learn in school! Informed decisions = Better outcomes. Love my kids, my 🍯my🐈 🐈‍⬛ and 🚘 🛵! Are you scared to death about what lies ahead?

Life After 18 specializes in Parenting Skills, Life Skills, and PC Skills with a little bit of sarcasm thrown in for the fun of it! Parents, are you teaching your kids all they need to know to survive in life? Kids, is your graduation looming on the horizon? I mean, what will you do: Will you move out? How will you survive if you do? Do you have a job? Do you know what it will cost to live on you

r own? My one-of-a-kind book, "Shifting to the Business of Life," explains all the things you need to know in order to survive once you move out of your parent's house. It contains information for over 100 topics from your internet presence, payroll deductions, to banking, renting your first apartment and marriage. ANYONE who has every puzzled over the phrase, "24 months same as cash," or doesn't understand what it means to "maintain their own car" will find the answers in this amazing book! And when I say "anyone," I mean anyone: Male or female, high school or college students, military personnel, and especially young adults who are on the verge of "aging" out of the foster care system. So keep a copy near and dear to wherever life takes you, knowing it will contain the information you need, when you need it!

The #1 thing parents forget to teach their kids about marriage isn't about relationships—it's about legal and financial protection.

Marriage isn't just a celebration—it's a legally binding business arrangement that will impact every major financial decision your young adult makes.

The reality check your kids need:

Financial Partnership Essentials:
• Joint contracts for housing, banking, and credit
• Shared legal obligations neither can escape without cooperation
• Critical pre-marriage discussions about money, children, homeownership, and retirement

Legal Protections to Consider:
• Prenuptial agreements - In community property states, everything becomes 50/50 the moment they sign that license
• Marriage license requirements - Costs vary by state (typically under $100)
• Name change process - Social Security first, then driver's license, then everything else

The Bottom Line: Whether they choose a $50 courthouse ceremony or a $50,000 celebration, the legal and financial implications are identical.
💝Most young adults enter marriage focused on the wedding day, not the decades of shared financial responsibility that follow.

Are you preparing the young adults in your life for these realities?
After experiencing three divorces and now 22 years in a successful marriage, I understand both sides of the marriage equation. The difference? My fourth marriage succeeded because we approached it as both a love story AND a business partnership. This real-world experience drives my mission to prepare young adults for marriage realities, not just wedding dreams.
