Joys of Being an Adult Trumped by Bills That Come With it!
Jul 7, 2010
You know when I younger the one thing that I imagined would be the greatest thing ever was growing up. No more rules to live by– well at least ones that weren’t my own. No more worrying that my dad was going to go apeshit on me if I happened to total his Acura TL and most importantly no more worrying that I’d have to pay out of my own pocket to get that car fixed at some Houston auto repair shop or another depending on where I happened to total his car.
All of these were things that I looked forward to growing up. I thought life would be awesome and worry free and the life that I hated would be one that I loved. Well, boys and girls, I am going to tell you something parents never think to do. I was WRONG. It’s all a lie and the adult life I imagined would be great is far from it.
Sure, I don’t have to worry about the consequences of wrecking my dad’s car, which is nice and all, but has been replaced by having to pay for my own oil change and brake job. So basically I not only traded my nice and cushy life which I obviously took for granted for my own car repair bills but I also added a mortgage, utility bills, and groceries. So yeah, when it boils down to it, I think if I had the chance I’d trade back.
Man, I did not know what I was missing.

Girl! I am right with you. I think back when I was a child and realize how easy things were. When your biggest worry was who your friend was that day or if your favorite TV show was going to come on. No bills, no relationships, no money issues, just petty worries that really don’t matter at all, but at the time felt like they did.
I miss being a kid. Things were so easy. I’m always telling my little sister that is about to be 13 to enjoy being a kid while she can. She talks about getting a job and what not and I’m like NO!
Man. Anyway, I’m digging the new site design.
