A while back, I had a conversation with a friend about how being an adult sucks. Well, not all the time… but yeah it sometimes does.

But, conversely, being an adult kinda rocks.

Over the past week I took an unofficial poll, via my social media channels. I asked my friends/followers what were the best and worst things about being an adult. Here’s the gist of what I got…

Best

  1. Freedom
  2. Money
  3. Independence
  4. Knowledge

Worst

  1. Bills
  2. Money
  3. Responsibility
  4. Knowledge

I find it interesting that money and knowledge are on both lists. What do you think that means?

    I think money makes both lists for these reasons:

    Best – When you’re an adult, you generally have more money than you did to do with as you please. Prime example. As a child, I’d spend hours drooling over LEGo catalogues dreaming about sets I would never own. Now, if I really want a set, I can buy it!

    Worst – You simply need money to live. You need to allocate it to pay bills and to survive before spending it on luxuries. As a younger person, you could pretty much do with it as you please. I think this should technically be lumped with responsibility. Also, money makes adults do crazy things.
