It's A Jungle Out There Baby!

One of the biggest reasons people should adult up, is to be able to survive different situations that LIFE might throw at you! In our world, there is domestic violence, mental abuse to both children and adults alike. Sad, but this is our reality! The abuse thing cuts through all social classes. Some bruises, might or might not be visible.

One must have skill in this tool box of personal knowledge would be learning about money. By learning how to handle money, an education that is not taught in any school that I know of. Bookkeeping would be the closest to money skills that I know of; and I would personally look at that as a foundation. The best place to learn some of these skills would be a library.

Another must have skill would be Law. Some schools have this class, Business Law is what you would want to take. This class can be used in real life and your own business should you decide to have one. Having your own business would be a real plus. It would allow you to have financial freedom. Getting back to the subject of Law classes, the next class would be to take Criminal Justice. Why you might ask would you want to take this class? Once you understand how this law applies to your life. It will open up your eyes to what your rights are and aren't. Criminal Justice Law is very black and white. There is no wiggle room for argument, unlike Business Law.

Psychology which is a class only taught at a College level or University. Why, it will help you understand dysfunctional relationships. You'll really start to understand the people in your life, be they family, friends or acquaintances. This is not saying that you have to like these people. It will give you some incite as to how they became the way they did. Marriage and Family is another class, it will explain a view of intimate relationships. Sort of the life cycle of a family.

Every adult should have their own money. No co-mingling of assets or money. This way if your in an abusive situation or relationship you will have an out. This gives you choices. Life should always be about choices. Otherwise, its sort of like living in a prison camp. People that have never experienced any sort of abuse in their lives might find this to be extreme. All I can say, is the reality of life is that there is no Prince or Princess that's going to sweep you off your feet and live a Happily Ever After.  Great ending to a book, but not a reality as we know it.

Every person should step up and take responsibility for you life. You are responsible for your own happiness, not anyone else. Be sure to make your life the best life you can have.
