    Do you guys know of any helpful websites/articles/books about life skills?

    life skills like managing a checking account, credit cards management, basic job interview skills, reading and paying bills, resume and cover letters, utility companies; how they work, basic car maintenance, apartment management people; introduction to taxes, internet scams, etc. - I'm sure I could come up with more. Mainly things we all have to do once we hit "the real world". The world is complicated and cruel if you don't know what's going on. When I was in high school, most kids lacked these skills.

    Anyway, I'm volunteering for a non-profit online program that teaches life skills and I'd like to add links and more resources to our website.

    Also, I was homeschooled for a couple years (and plan on homeschooling my sister), but had to learn life skills on my own with hardly any help from my parents. Me and my sister are both slow learners due to our disabilities. She really needs help being independent, so I'm trying to gather as much information as I can and help her do hands-on tasks as frequent as we can. Hopefully when the program launches, she'll be willing to do that too.

    You know if you could find a way to put all of those subjects into 1 book you might be able to publish it for home schoolers and make yourself some $$$$
