THE ADULTING SCHOOL

How are your adulting skills? So many of today’s Millennials don’t really have a clue because their parents were too busy doing everything for them instead of teaching them. Ask yourself these questions:
– Do you know how much money you have and how to access it?
– Do you know how to follow a recipe?
– Do you know how to use the correct correspondence for the task at hand?
– What do you do in case of a serious illness?
For the answers to these and other questions, you might need the Adulting School in Portland, Maine.
