A new virtual Adulting class meant to help students enroll in medical insurance is gaining notoriety. The class is being offered by Michigan State University Extension and also covers filing taxes and how to manage lines of credit. Kathy Jamieson is an educator with MSU Extension. She says the program is important because a lot of these topics aren’t covered in public schools.
“It’s so needed,” says Jamieson. “A lot of the classes that are taught aren’t necessarily taught in a school setting. Parents are busy, and this information is helpful for them to learn how to live on their own and live independently. We cover topics that aren’t offered in classes.”
Upcoming classes include Paycheck and Taxes as well as Build and Protect Your Credit. All classes are free and last about an hour. Those interested will need to register at the MSU Extension Adulting 101 website.
