Ep: 16 Navigating into Adulthood Pt. 1: Understanding bills & Moving out vs being kicked out.
Happy Monday BU&Y Family! Episode 16 of the Between Us & Y’all Podcast is available for your listening pleasure.
It was truly a pleasure to have our Oakland family to join us for this episode. My little community cousin from the Bashir family joined us! Nafeesah is the daughter of Bro Jeffery Bashir, who I grew up believing was my birth uncle due to his closeness with my father and overall family. She has grown into a lovely mother, friend, and great person. Nafeesah & her son Ajai joined us to begin a very important conversation on the topic of Navigating Adulthood focusing on: Understanding bills & Moving out vs being kicked out. So many of us parents never had a chance to have a conversation with our parents or elders about this topic.
We knew bills existed and we knew they needed to be paid in order to avoid some form of discomfort or even homelessness. When we take time to really go over how bills work discussing things like; what therms mean for the electric bill, or learning how many gallons of water your family uses on the average per month, or even if you are discussing how there is more than one gas service to choose from in one’s city...this really helps to prepare our young adults to be able to successfully pay bills one day on their own.
There is also the important topic of moving out vs getting kicked out. There are many families who never really have a series of conversations about this. There is just an assumed date in time that our young adults will be ready to venture out on their own, or face the demise of being put out and left to fend for themselves. Neither of these strategies is effective. This conversation should start a long time before their exit day comes and should occur when your family is ready for it to occur. Allow your young adults to express their views, plans and we hope that you feel secure in the support you are able to offer them.
This was such a great conversation. I’m so proud of Nafeesah and her young man for all of the beneficial information shared with us and our listeners on this episode. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we did!
About our guests:
Nafeesah Bashir: Oakland native, Mama & Wife.
Ajai: Rising junior in high school & athlete.
Family motto: “Anything worth having, you're going to have to work for it.”
