Introduction

A friend of mine, whose young son was just ready to leave the nest, and strike out on his own, in another city, because he had got the job of his dreams there, was really worried. “How is he going to survive on his own, at least, when he was with us, we took care of all the financial matters.” And then she added something, which her young son would find thoroughly objectionable, being a responsible young man in his own eyes. “He is such a child, if his mother and father are not there, who is going to take care of him?”

Naturally you, you proud young man, striking out on your own would definitely be very indignant at the idea of such mollycoddling, especially when you consider yourself an adult. You can vote, you can drive, your father trusts you to make responsible decisions, but he still does not trust you enough to think you capable of handling your own money?

This book is for all those young men [and even women leaving their house for the first time and fending for themselves.] Nevertheless, even though these steps are common sense and general based on experience of elders with children, the budgetary needs of a woman are thoroughly different from those of a man. And that is why, this book is more man based, even though general tips on shopping, and how to make a budget are universal and are useful for people of both genders, notwithstanding whether they are 19 or 60.
