We live in a complex and challenging world. To succeed in this world and effectively deal with the many challenges facing us requires a specific skill set. We call these skills "real-world life skills." Essentially, these skills are necessary to benefit fully from our system of government. These critical skills are not taught to us at home, in college, or on the job. These skills, while not required, that we learn in the traditional sense. However, we must understand these skills at every stage in our life to navigate successfully in the real world.

I created this guide to keep you informed and educated with real-world navigational knowledge relating to our "core systems." We noticed that most of the time, there is way too much news coming at us from everywhere. But how many of us have a good grasp of our core systems. The core areas refer to our legal, consumer education, insurance, housing, social, political, economic systems, and government services. Real-world everyday issues and concerns that impact our daily lives. This guide will help you navigate some of the most critical areas we face daily. As we weave through these complicated functions, we all need help learning the right strategies for optimum success!
