Adulting Decrypted

We prepare young adults to be independent powerhouses for life.--Who We Are: The Adulting Decrypted team is composed of a Dad and his three sons: Roscoe(Dad - age redacted), Ashton(22), Gene(18), and Gideon(14). How We Started: As a family we have always tried to have at least one meal together daily. The meal that typically ends up being is dinner. One night in particular near the beginning of the COVID pandemic, our conversation started with Roscoe mentioning that he had recently read a news article stating that an Ivy League college was offering “Adulting,” classes. These classes were being offered in the hopes that they might be able to educate students who were struggling with common “Adult” tasks. It didn't make sense to us that someone would have to enroll in an Ivy League school to learn things that nearly every person has to deal with daily. To us it seemed that things like shopping, laundry, mental health, communication, taxes, loans, and so much more should be basic knowledge before taking on the substantial challenges of modern life. Eventually the idea was floated that there should be a podcast that can be accessed for free that would help people gain insight into these things that we thought we knew fairly well. Since COVID-19 had caused unemployment and school schedule changes for all of us we thought that there could be no better thing than for us to take on this challenge. Less than a month later, after several planning meetings and countless hours of research, we had recorded and uploaded our first episode. Now, over a year later, and with nearly 4,000 downloads(total listens) we are going strong, and are more excited than ever to try and assist our peers in the challenges of life.

So today we're gonna cover some financial side of a  as well as a mental health, social help and it's kind of interesting because as we're recording Ashton is feeling a little under the weather.

That's correct. Not that you'd probably go to the doctor for this normally anyways. It's a cold but it's something to be, something to think of and we might wonder why is health insurance a financ...

I remember when you guys were little, I'd say something that I would get myself in trouble for often. I'd say, Hey, being an adult just means I'm better at Googling or tubing how to fix something. You guys remember me saying that? I think so. So what I wanna talk about today is there's a few different things.

When we, when we talk about, , really the theme I want to get across is Google has all the answ...
