Synopsis

"Things They Don't Teach You in School" should be in the hands of every young adult in the 17 to 25 age group. Within these 8 years they will graduate from high school, leave home, get a job, get married, have children, rent an apartment, buy a home, buy a car, and need different kinds of insurance. Yet, inspite of their academic accomplishments, they are not prepared for life outside the nest because the schools do not teach them about banking, insurance, investing, how to buy a car, renting an apartment, buying a house. how to get and keep a job, or retiremenet planning. Along with a little bit of philosophy, this book attempts to provide some basic information about these subjects so that they won't be so vulnerable to unscupulous service providers, and save some money.
