Adulting Readiness Check

I have my own account, I know what interest and inflation do, and I split money when it arrives.

I could read my own pay stub and explain every deduction on it.

I know what a credit score measures, what moves it, and which borrowing traps to avoid.

I know what moving out really costs and could read a lease before signing it.

I know what a car costs beyond the payment, and how the loan and dealership actually work.

I could choose a health plan on total cost, and I know what to do with a bill I can't pay.

I could gather my documents and file a basic return without dread.

I can feed myself real food for a week, do laundry right, and handle the five common repairs.

I know what a stranger finds when they search me, and my key accounts have unique passwords and 2FA.

My documents are in one place, I know my basic rights, and I know what to do first in a crash or a crisis.
