Adulting 101 – "Simplifying adulting, step by step."
Problem:
Students, and particularly those who are entering adulthood, struggle with fundamental but confusing activities: personal money management, career preparation, and dealing with documents such as IDs, banking, and visa papers. Local students struggle with procedures such as PAN or Aadhaar applications, while international students frequently arrive in a foreign country ignorant of how to set up a bank account, enroll in health insurance, or get a SIM card. These activities are essential for survival, yet the majority of students possess no reliable, beginner-friendly guidance.
Gap in Existing Solutions
Current tools are disconnected. Budgeting apps focus only on finance and overwhelm beginners with advanced features. Career sites such as LinkedIn or resume-building websites do not cover basic administrative work. Government websites offer required information, but it is dispersed, technical, and not student-centered. International student resources are restricted to universities or divided across unofficial blogs. No one, easy platform brings together finance, career, and paperwork advice for students.
What This App Does:
Adulting 101 guides students through essential life tasks by combining finance, career, and paperwork support in one platform. It tracks multi-currency budgets and sends reminders for rent, tuition, and bills. It provides a resume and CV builder with region-specific templates and interview prep tips. Paperwork guidance includes step-by-step checklists for IDs, visas, banking, SIM cards, and health insurance, with links to official portals and deadlines. The app also features a secure digital vault to store passports, IDs, bank documents, and certificates, with reminders for renewals, ensuring students have everything they need safely in one place.
Who Benefits:
Students (local & international): Local students receive step-by-step assistance for IDs, bank accounts, and bills, whereas international students are provided with country-specific checklists for visas, banking, SIMs, and insurance.
Parents & Universities: Peace of mind that students can take care of basic things on their own.
Solution / Features:
Adulting 101 combines three pillars:
Finance Basics: Multi-currency budget tracker with reminders.
Career: Resume/CV builder with region-specific templates and interview preparation.
Paperwork: Step-by-step guides for essential documents, with links to official portals and timelines for deadlines.
Smart Vault: A safe place to keep passports, IDs, visas, bank documents, and certificates with reminders for renewals or expiry. This way, students will have all essential documents readily available at all times.
Why It Matters:
I’ve seen my friends and people I know struggle with basic yet essential tasks, from paying rent to applying for a PAN card. International friends face even bigger barriers. This inspired the creation of a student-first tool that simplifies adulting.
