I wish I had then when I was a teen
This would have been a great book to have when I was a teen. But at least now it's available for my kids. It includes a lot of really important skills that everyone needs to know growing up, but you don't learn in school. My favorite one was about saving money. This is SUCH an important life skill, but many people don't know how to do it. And I love that the author even puts it in terms that any teen would be interested in. What teen doesn't want to have a car as soon as they get a license? This book says how they can start saving early to do just that!

This book is packed full of useful information to help a teenager and a young adult, avoid so many mistakes that many of us made before we became independent adults. It shows you how important a job can be for a teenager, before you have any real bills, It shows you how to get ahead by saving your money from that job, and also how important a savings account can be, for your future. If you go to college, it teaches you how to stay ahead of your classwork and still have time for fun in college. It will show you how to get an apartment, and the importance of paying your bills on time. This is a great book to start your life on the right foot.

This book contains incredible value
Parents are supposed to teach their children this information from an early age in life. Unfortunately, not all parents pay enough attention to this matter. By reading this book and applying it in life, teenagers will become much more mature as the year's progress. Children have to start thinking for themselves as early as possible in life. Great topic, excellent information.

Everything you need to be independent
This is a very useful skill-learning tool kit for every young adult out there. It has all the useful tips to start training yourself and get organised for the big steps you will have to take to become independent. It includes information on how to start saving from a very early age, and working with computers. . There are several everyday essentials which you probably will not take note of as you grow and are often not thought in schools like various shopping lists at various stages such as college dorms or when going camping. This is definitely an essential guide to help you take that first step into independence. I do recommend this book.

Best for Self Grooming
It is an amazing book for teens and adults. Simply, we can say that it is a complete package for one to be an independent person. This book will help you to improve your communication skills and many other skills like how to manage your house and how to find a job as a professional person.
It is a worthy recommendation for youth to have a better and secure future.

Excellent Life Advice!
I first read and loved Valli Quaintance's other longer book "Discover Life Skills for Teens and Young Adults: Manage Money, Get a Job, and Live an Independent Life", then I read this shorter one. I highly recommend them both. Although similar, there's some valuable information in this shorter one that's not in the longer one. I wish I'd had this information made available to me when I was a teen!
