Lee’s Money Brew Adult‑Ready Workshop Series

Preparing Teens for Real‑World Financial Independence

🌟 Upcoming Preview Workshop

Before the full series launches, we’re hosting a Preview Workshop — an overview of the entire program designed to give teens, families, and educators a taste of what’s ahead. This session will cover:

• Paycheck Reality – Understanding gross vs. net income and how taxes, insurance, and deductions affect take‑home pay.

• The Costs of Moving Out – Rent, utilities, groceries, and the hidden expenses that surprise first‑time renters.

• College: Anticipated vs. Real Costs – What tuition doesn’t include, and how to evaluate whether loans are truly necessary.

• Cars: Cash or Loans? – The real cost of financing vs. saving and paying cash.

• Avoiding Scams in the Digital Age – Protecting your identity, money, and online reputation.

This preview gives families a clear picture of what “adult‑ready” really means — and how financial peace starts with informed decisions.
