Welcome!

Welcome the blog for the Real Life 101 Handbook!

One day in 2003 I was balancing my checkbook and, all of a sudden it dawned on me; there was so much I had not learned in high school. Although I did receive a decent "general" education that prepared me for college, there were so many things no one had ever taught me. Things like how to balance the checkbook, how to rent an apartment, how to look for a job, how to buy a car and so many other things.

So I got on the internet and started searching. Much to my surprise, NO ONE had written a book like that. No one. And I thought "I just jot down some ideas about what a book like that should contain." In January of 2009, my book was published.

I wrote this book as a premier for folks that have never received this information from any other source. The book introduces you to several important topics and gives you enough information to get you started on your "Real Life" education. You can see more about the book here.

But the book is only the start of your education. So, I created this blog and a Google Group so folks can get additional information, ask questions, share information with each other and continue their education about all the necessary things in real life. If you're on Facebook, you can become a fan of the book.

I hope you enjoy this and find it helpful for your unique life situation! Let's help each other have the best "Real Life" each of us deserves!
