to me being an adult means being free.free to do any an everything you want to do .for example you can stay out late or go on road trips without hearing moms mouth.you can breath an think smooth an nice also quiet.but you will also have responsibility's to take care of like your car notes or house bills food s coast all the coast of living doing taxes all that stuff that gets on your nerves.being independent is also a big part of the adult life once you leave the house with mommy theirs no going back calling on them.you have to be able to financially take care of your self your needs but also your bills.then if you have kids toys an junk they need.also always have money put away for emergency use only because you never know when a bad snow storm or any storm may come threw so just being an adult your job is to be alert of everything.when you are an adult you must have money to meet your needs.because we are adults we need to act like it.
