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.
Not exactly the kind of "level up" we are grown to expect from RPG's 😐
Well, not taxes per se, tho it sounds weird saying to make room for all the low wages he's getting.
Growing up, I was led to believe there was nothing more grueling than paying your taxes. They would be the bane of my adult life, a torturous experience that would drag you down and age you prematurely.
It's like 2-3 hours of my life a year. I legitimately never think about them otherwise.
Protip: save yourself 2-3 hours a year by committing tax evasion!
Or be boring and live in a country where it is done for you
Stay a kid forever? You know those narcissists who do shit like litter, drive like jerks, etc? They didn't grow up.
Nah I was nicer than that ask a kid lol
I hope Taxes is not an HM
b! B! No! Jimmy!
Jimmy made a mistake... having a two syllable nickname when his name is already one. Jameses of the world, don't accept nicknames longer than your name!
"Ame"
Jim. Or Jam. Those are your options
I'll sometimes call my James friend "Ya-mez"
