Meet the handbook

A handbook you can open one problem at a time

Life Setup Guide is for anyone setting up everyday adult life in the US: new grads, young adults, people starting over and people who have recently moved here. You do not need a particular background or age to use it. The handbook does not grade you, assume equal resources or require that you solve every subject at once.

Choose a guide about the decision in front of you, then use a planner if arithmetic or a checklist would help. The pages point to official tax, health, safety and consumer resources instead of pretending this handbook can replace professional help.

This site has no products to sell and no personal profiles; any advertising is labelled. It is an independent learning resource, not a government service or a health provider. If you need immediate support, use the appropriate official crisis or emergency resource directly.
