What to expect after the age of 18 (5 things they don’t tell you)

Most of us are hurried to grow up. When you leave your parents' house, that’s it, you’re officially an adult on a journey of being independent. 

(we often mistake the idea of being mature and grown mixed up.)

This debate is always the best because everyone has different opinions. (all are valid)

Here are 5 things that will actually help you transition from not having anything to working towards stability and independence

1. We need to heal our wounds. 

This is #1 because it is the way we view and experience life.

2. Your insurance under your parents' policy ends at the age of 26. 

I bet this one caught you off guard. I was just as surprised, but yeah, make sure you get insurance through your employer or through an insurance company. Normally you just call to provide your info and they give you a quote. 

3. Full coverage on your vehicle is crucial. Don’t bet on liability.

If you get in a wreck, hit someone and don’t have full coverage, don’t expect to get your car fixed and best believe they will come after your $$$. So, when opening an account with your provider of choice, make sure you ask for full coverage. It may cost more than liability, but you will also be covered 

4. Work on building your credit. 

Credit is a big thing in the US. It helps you get lower interest rates, lower prices on cars, homes and even loans. The higher you have it, the more banks will will trust to work with you.

5. Build on healthy relationships

Choose good friends and good company.

Proverbs 13:20:

"Walk with the wise, and you will be wise; a companion of fools will suffer harm."
