Constantly thinking of finances
- how much is it?
- do I need it?
- can I afford it?
- should I just forget about it? ... yeah forget about it
Don't forget
- Why did I buy this?
Closely followed by:
- Why didn't I buy this earlier? This is such a time save/practical thing/now I really need it but its costs are tripled!
Later followed by:
This has been in this closet and hasn't been used for 10 years.
I better hold on to it. I might need it.

This is really more about financial stress rather than adulthood. I was constantly on the verge of being broke until I became an adult and started working and (eventually) got a well paid job. Somewhat pedantic, I know, but financial stress is not an integral part of adulthood.

• do I need it?
Start there. If it's not clearly a no, repeat multiple times over several weeks and one can quickly learn when to spent time thinking about these things.
Being an adult doesn't mean you're only entitled to buy stuff you need. Don't forget to treat yourself or others once in a while if you can afford it and it's something you really want.

The "everything hurts" part comes a lot later if you don't live a sedentary lifestyle.
Even with an office job, you have at least 8 hours a day when you're not forced to sit on a chair or sleeping. Use them!
You don't have to sit down at an office job either. Standing desks are great for staying more active IMHO.
We're getting adjustable desks next year. Can't wait!
Nice. We got convertible desks a few years ago. It's done wonders for my weight management. My job requires me to step away from the computer frequently, and the ability to stand most of the work day just makes things feel easier.

This, too, hurts.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
Threw my back out while unloading the dishwasher, while listening to quietly playing triphop, and wearing my comfy cardigan.
That sounds like me...

idk I had some of these before even reaching adulthood
- rather sleep than go out
- comfort before style
- always annoyed (if anything this was worse when I was younger)
- you had what it took to survive longer than those who burnt out before you
My entire friend group got hit with back pain in the same year as we're about to hit our 30s. We're a bunch of office workers who continue to sit in front of computers after work though so its completely on us. Trying to work on changing that
edit: disagree with the weight and going out parts though. I've still got that in me
Daily stretches no joke help a ton for aches and pains. Even better to also exercise. Once I started being serious, I was able to work through lower back and neck pain. Now I have to specifically screw up to hurt the next day.
... Too bad sleeping in the wrong position is "screwing up" these days, though...
Exercise can severely reduce or even eliminate back pain.
I've been running daily for about a month and a half. Because I got fat.
Everything hurts all the time but a couple more months of this and that'll more or less stop and the back pain will be better once I've lost the weight.
Which I will. I've done it before. A bunch of times. So it goes.
Do not touch my spatula
I've been an adult since I was a kid if you ignore the second to last one
God im annoyed af.
Yeah that’s accurate.
Damn..
