Some Honest Truths About Adulting

  1. You will need a partner or spouse if you want to own a house. It is almost impossible to do that with just one income. If no partner or spouse, roommates.
  2. You need to develop a skill valued by the market and do that for a job. Hopefully you enjoy something the market values, but many people must work jobs they don't really like.
  3. It is not possible to be happy all the damn time. Everybody goes through ups and downs.
  4. Life isn't fair. Somebody will always have more than you, many have less.
  5. The only person looking out for you is you. Politicians don't give a damn about you. In either party.
  6. What you see on social media is not real life. It is completely staged. For clicks and money.
