7 unbelievable things we wish someone had told us about adult life

As children, one of the things that a lot of people look forward to is becoming adults. Adults always seemed to have it all together and they didn’t seem to answer to anybody. Fast forward to a couple of years later, and we’re all grown starting the adulting journey. But nothing prepares you for this. Here are 7 of the things that we wish someone had told us about adult life.

Being broke

How is this even possible? You follow all the financial gurus, you do all the salary math that they tell you to, and you keep making resolutions to save. But somehow, you’re still always broke. If we knew as kids, maybe we would have taken saving more seriously.

Married … with kids at 25

It’s not uncommon for some people to plan out their entire lives. You tell yourself that by the time that you’re 25 you’ll be married about to have your first kid. Lmao.

The responsibilities

When you’re a kid and want to be treated like an adult, everyone has an issue. But now all of a sudden, every one has decided that you have become an adult overnight and need some responsibilities.

Never getting enough sleep

One of the perks of being an adult is that no one is going to tell you what time to be asleep by. But all that freedom can be toxic. You end up staying up late for no reason and then complain about how bad you feel in the morning. Just awesome.

Unemployment

As a kid, you probably pictured all the vacations that you would take with the money that you made from your fancy job. Sadly, not even the stories of unemployment can prepare you for unemployment.

Heartbreak

Another thing that nobody tells you is part of the adulting deal is the heartbreaks. Like is this even necessary? Isn’t life hard enough already?

Losing friendships

Becoming an adult is a journey, and not everyone can come on that journey with you. Okay, generic quotes aside, it’s unfortunate, but growing up means that things happen and you lose people along the way.
