Whether you're just graduated from high school or college, or have been on your own for a while, Before You Call Mom can help you tackle those daily challenges that were never covered in any classroom. Written by a twenty-something and her mom, this survival guide reveals secrets to making it in the real world:

- Survival Housekeeping: fast and easy clutter control, cleaners you can make from items in your pantry and laundry and sewing 101
- Money Matters: how to balance that check book, keep from drowning in debt, and create a budget you can live with
- Changing a Flat Tire and Living to Tell About It
- Getting a Job: from writing a resume to preparing for interviews, we've got you covered
Plus Tips for:
- What to do if you lose your wallet
- How to stop smoking
