Adulting Simulation
📋 What it is
Real independence means juggling money, home, time and decisions all at once — the skills combine into one life.
🗣️ Coach says
Here’s the big picture: real life doesn’t come in neat subjects. On any given day you’re budgeting, cooking, managing time and making choices all at once. The capstone skill is juggling them together — and every mission you’ve done is one ball in the air.

Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
