Yeah taxes suck and being a kid was fun but I wouldn't go back. Being an adult is so much better.

Yarp i like being an adult, it's the part about the world being poo and the assumption that it's responsibility to fix it that I'm hatin'.

I'm fine with taxes but i should still have hopes! I should still get to do fun! It's not fair that the fun got all sucked out! It's all been sucked out! And it wasn't even too terribly long ago.

I hear lots of stories (i bet y'all have too) from people who have worked any job for 10-20 years about how much more fun or at least laid back it used to be.

Being an adult should be fun. I should get to, with my adult freedoms, do the things i dreamed of as a child! I don't need to have the white ferrari testarossa from Miami vice but i should have the house and a nice life where i can take a month or two off every year.

Yes i should Bygawad!

Ok to finish my very serious missive, It's not being an adult that's the sucky part, it's definitely the poo world.

Hey move to Europe friend. I have 5 weeks vacation (going to negotiate for more this year) and bought my house 3 years ago. It was an arm and a leg to be fair but my monthly mortgage payments now are sub 1k for a family home.

My wife and I both work 40 hours but could drop to 32 if we really wanted and still be comfortable. Most families I know at least one partner works part time.

Woah that's a cheap mortgage. What country?

Unless you have a complicated tax situation it only takes like an hour or two to file taxes anyways.

Being a healthy adult with a stable job and no kid is the best time I have ever had.
