preparing myself for 2026
Adults of AKP, what's the worst part about adulthood?
-
Doing a job you hate.
-
Too many responsibilities.
-
responsabilities
and having to manage yourself
-
Bills
-
Responsibilities. It's so easy when your parents take care of everything.
-
just starting as an adult -- the parents still treat you like a teen. only when you can get enough money together to shut their mouth up will they stay out of your business. but then they might come back asking for more.
edit: safe to say that my parents kinda also treat me as a retirement investment sometimes. they want me to get a job as fast as humanly possible to start paying back.
-
When you start noticing all of the current events and actually understand what they mean. In childhood there was this blissful naivety
-
Everything. lol
I want to go back to being like 10.

You are an adult????????????

-
Having to take care of your own stuff, and you suddenly realize everything is more expensive than you ever imagined.
-
-
Dad you are 16, don't rush it.
-
Marriage
-
Marriage
I am surprised

Dad you are 16, don't rush it.
It suddenly occurred to me that he's a "dad" at 16.

It suddenly occurred to me that he's a "dad" at 16.

I am surprised
How so?
-
Bills and trying to make money.
I sometimes wonder how did my parents manage to raise me, buy me things and still have money for the bills and food.
-
How so?
I never expected marriage to be that hard or bad.
-
Budgeting.
I've also found recently that making time for myself is harder than it used to be. Granted I have two kids, work full time, sometimes over time. I usually end up ruining my sleep schedule because I stay up to late just to have some "me" time.
-
I never expected marriage to be that hard or bad.
Well, I obviously can't speak for everyone but mine was a complete nightmare, despite my best efforts.
Let's just say I wouldn't do it again
I got the t-shirt now, good enough for me -
Getting old.
-
Dealing with other people’s egos. Most things are easy. People are hard.
-
Also, realizing that problems that started during childhood still linger and affect us much more than we ever thought.
Whatever is hurting you now, try to figure it out and address it directly instead of thinking it will naturally pass once you reach adulthood. The times might be over, but the effect it has on you might still linger later on. Don’t let that happen.

meaning you are in your 20s?
yup! I’M NOT A BOOMER YET OK

Why would you pay back? It is their responsibility to take care of their kid.
-
bills, responsibilities, and constantly tired
-
from my personal experience:
doing job you hate/find it a waste of time;
realizing you're getting older and closer to the process of death;
realizing that living is way more expensive than you thought.
the second one is the hardest for me to deal with tbh.
i wish i could be a teenager again tbh.

preparing myself for 2026
How old will you be in that year?
-
buying insurance...not hard but tedious! lol
-
Having to worry about basic stuff like housing, utility, taxes, fees, transportation, food, cleaning, insurance, healthcare, and so on while dealing with co-workers, neighbor's association or landlord, lawyers, and so on and balancing it with your family and love life. Each of these factors will have their own bullshit you have to deal with and probably you will get the short end of the stick most of the time depending on your social condition.
-
Responsibilities.
-
Working and paying bills, they take half my money
responsibilities, a lot of them. You see the world differently, see how easy you had it when school was your only worry. Your parents and grand parents are getting old, it's sad to watch. And your own health, both mental and physical, is slowly going to **** because of all that stress. Enjoy your youth, live in the moment, spend time with real people and don't stress yourselves with irrelevant stuff that will have no positive effect in your adult life what so ever! -
I'm not an independent adult yet, but I'm starting to understand why adults are angry all the time.
And I hate the fact that I already started going on the "always angry" path.
