This book is written for people who have come to a turning point in their lives. Somewhere between the ages of sixteen and twenty one, people stop being children and become adults, both in the eyes of their fellow human beings and the law.

What does "becoming an adult" mean? Adults are free, independent and responsible. Once this freedom and independence are achieved, society regards adults as responsible. They and only they, are answerable for the results of their actions and the decisions they take.

Taking decisions means that people need information and that is where this book comes in. In fact, this book does two things. First, it discusses the issues which confront young adults when they come to take decisions about practical matters. It gives them an idea of how to approach these issues, what to take into account and what to avoid. Second, it provides factual information needed to make sensible decisions.

If you are beginning to ask questions like: When should I leave school? Should I try for a job, or for a career? How much will I earn? How much should I save? Should I take out insurance? What if I become unemployed? Then you need this book.
