When it comes to adulthood, there are many, many pros. There are also quite a few cons about it.
Personally, this is an interesting topic for me as I am very much wanting to become an adult and move out asap, but I’m doubtful that I am quite aware of all the cons.
Anyways, here is my list of what I personally consider to be the pros and cons of adulthood:
PROS
Get to make your own rules (as long as they are within possibility and the law)
You are granted control over your medical stuff and basically what happens to you
Privacy and confidentiality
It’s a lot easier to cut toxic ppl off
Independence
CONS
taxes
job
how tf do you cook
why does everything cost so much
@Discussions - what do you guys think of this? Any pros or cons of your own to add? (Especially from those who who are actual adults)
You don’t have to depend on others for money, as long as you have a job.
This greatly depends on whether or not you live alone, but being an adult gives you a lot of independence as to what to eat, what to buy, how to spend your time, etc.
As for cooking, I did take some cooking classes in high school because the school I went to offered it as an elective, but you can also watch cooking videos on YouTube. I get a lot of great recipes from cooking videos.
And taxes… I really know next to nothing about that. Is that only a US thing, or do other countries file taxes? Because I’ve never heard anyone here mention it, and we definitely don’t do that at my job.
CONS:
Too many responsibilities
Bills
Having to do housework
If you miss a day of school, you only have to do extra homework, but if you miss a day of work, you don’t get paid (unless you have a very valid excuse).
