Is adulting hard?

Only for the first 40 years

I'm nearly 69 now and I've still not mastered it. (I've not tried that hard to grow up, I must admit)

You just have to get a job you enjoy and then the next 40yrs will be ok x

You’re screwed 😆

The only difference between successful adulting and being a kid is a self-discipline and fore thought. Also, the consequences for lack of self-discipline as an adult are usually disastrous. So, plan ahead and be conservative and be smart.

Don’t do it run away

I think adulting is way easier than college or high school. Congrats— you’re way past the toughest parts of life

You're only now having to become "at least somewhat responsible"? Being "somewhat responsible" to the extent of my capabilities was ingrained into me by parents from as far back as I can remember, and kept increasing as I could handle more and become more independent and have a part-time job and not just an allowance. So it was never a big shock. I raised my kids the same way, and my grandkids have been raised the same. It's part of parenting -- nurturing, preparing, teaching self-sufficiency.

just because you're becoming an adult, doesn't mean you have to grow up. technically i'm 37 but mentally i'm about 12.

Yeah I couldn’t go out and party every other night just on Ladies Night ( usually on Wednesdays) and the weekends not 24/7 like prior 🍻🍻

You'll be fine! Being concerned about getting it right is a GREAT sign of maturity! 😊😊😊👍👍👍

It can be, but it is done by the vast majority of folks. You can do this.

don't give in to the pressure... always indulge your inner child!

I've never had a full-time job, but you go girl!

its 9am.. and im done adulting for today...

It's very hard... Good luck! You'll need it.

Adulting is hard, but it's got it's ups and downs. It was a huge up for me as an adult to realize. I make my own money and can buy my own groceries. It was a huge down to figure out why my parents never let me eat a gallon of ice cream for dinner. Still have to apologize to my gut for that one.

Sad, you will have many ups and downs

If you do it right ...yes

It is a big change. If you aren’t responsible it’s really hard. Money management is your friend.

Do you need help being responsible?

Message meeee

Hard and sucks lol

How is the job going?

It always has been for me

No but it sucks

Lol

I guess that's why people wish they were a kid again. It's abrupt which makes it overwhelming.

Sometimes it is, but you should be okay at this point.

no
