What makes you feel like a true adult?

[Chillygirl]

What makes you feel like you have your life together? That you are truly adulting and doing it well?

For me it’s a well organized fridge and a clean kitchen sink. A freshly scrubbed sink that smells like bleach makes me feel like I’m winning at life.

Clean sheets. Mopped floors. A fridge with condiments that are unexpired.

Cleaning up while cooking

 

[SixShooter14]

Being able to assist another, especially another adult.

Talking my younger coworkers through buying their first house.
Explaining how to install a ceiling fan or light fixture. Then he calls to say it works!
Helping out family when the need it (financially or emotionally or just bringing them dinner after a hard time)

It rarely happens at this point!

But for me it is making all the calls to get things done - hair appts, dr appts, plumber, whatever it is…

Clean sheets for the win. Put clean sheets on my bed earlier today.

To be able to forgive someone without rancour

When I know some task must get done and I don’t want to do it, pushing myself and completing it anyway.

Remembering to pay all the bills in time.

Remembering to pay all the bills in time.

Define “on time” (as I put off paying my mortgage because that number just seems too high today - maybe tomorrow - it’s not late until the 15th )

I bought new ones the other day. So fucking awesome.

Clean new sheets trump my clean sheets even if they are fairly new. Can I be a little jealous?

Of course, you can tell me to go buy some new ones.

I like to pay it as soon as I get the statement or the notification on my phone. If not, I will forget.

Today.... It's not having any clothes or shoes on my bedroom floor. Just the rug and furniture.

It's the little things

 

[Rob_Royale]

My son's are grown into fine upstanding young men. They have trades in which they can support themselves. They work hard and are well thought of at their respective jobs. My wife of 32 years is my best friend and lover. Doesn't get any better.

 

[MrsPassion]

I’m not going to lie; It’s all my organizing bins and baskets and such with labels I made
And the fact that I watch more home organizers/carpet cleaners on YouTube than influencers

Getting a paycheck yesterday and being broke today.

Getting a paycheck yesterday and being broke today.

Yeah…why does it go so fast?!

 

[Soccerfanpen21]

For me it's having done the dishes, vacuumed and washed the floors, changed the bedding, and started the wash of used bedding and it's not even my turn to do these things. Also I finally threw destroyed my fake ID now that I'm 22 and legal.

My "dad joke" is that I've lost custody of my money. It doesn't even stop by my wallet anymore before it's out the door to stay with other people.
