Lesson Overview

14.34 – Navigating Grocery Shopping, Cooking, and Bills: Managing food and finances independently requires learning through trial and planning. Grocery shopping starts with lists, budgets, and comparing prices per ounce—not flashy packaging. Buying store brands saves money without losing quality. Cooking simple meals like stir-fries or pasta teaches confidence and health awareness. Tracking bills on a calendar avoids late fees that quietly add up. Prioritize essentials like rent, power, and food before extras. Create a weekly spending plan and review it every payday. Mistakes happen—what matters is learning to adjust fast. Independence isn’t just paying bills; it’s managing them calmly. The satisfaction of cooking your meal and keeping the lights on brings real pride. Adulting feels easier when systems replace chaos. Every dollar tracked and meal prepared builds a stronger sense of capability and control.
