Of the many bones to can pick with adulthood, one of the most frustrating is the cost.
Once you grow up and are ushered into the wonderful world of being a grown-up, it’s like all of a sudden money runs the show. Food costs money, housing costs money, almost everything costs and it’s incredible the amount that goes out in relation to what comes in.
Outrageous!
Oh how I long for the days when a fiver meant I had the world at my fingertips. I could literally buy all that AND a bag of chips.
Those were the days.
Now it seems like every moment I’m breathing is a good time to pick my pocket. Not to mention the amount I hemorrhage out freely while online shopping or trying to chase a good time.
As a parent, your bank account gets doubly screwed. Lessons, food, events, and replacing broken shit- these are just a few of the ways that procreating can fuck your bank balance.
When it comes to money we all want more, but the boring-ass drudgery of adulthood makes us seek cheap thrills. And these thrills add up quickly. Everything costs money, and I just can’t quit spending it. Or eating. Anything to avoid feeling my feelings really.
