This book is the equivalent of a DIY manual for teens on how to creatively orchestrate their transition to adulthood with class and dignity. It covers the gamut of hurdles young people face as they strive to free themselves from parental oversight and strike out on their own.

Just what my son needed

I got this book for my son. He is a very fearless teenager and He is open to learning about becoming independent which is a big plus. The best thing is that it confirmed what I have been teaching him. I am glad it taught him about managing his money and not to over spend it. He now is enthusiastic about how to change a tire.
