2. You sometimes eat cereal for lunch…

Guilty.

[knarf]

My unproveable theory;

Adam and Eve were created as mature adults .. never went through puberty

Jesus is refered to as the last Adam

Jesus ministry (maturity) began at 30 and ended at 33

thus

I conclude a man matures in the 30 - 35 year block.

That theory holds true to my own life and as I observe the world around me.

4. Your ultimate career goal is to get to the point where you can go to work in your pyjamas

I sometimes CAN work in my pjs (software development working from home) but it wasn't a career goal.

• 2. You sometimes eat cereal for lunch…
• 9. You’ve been known to return from a weekly food shop with six bottles of wine generic soda pop, three packets of Supernoodles and a single apple
• 10. You and your housemates do clean the place, but you can’t get it to look as clean as home did
• 15. You’ve realised there’s no point in buying sugar, salt or pepper for your kitchen when you can get those little sachets free in so many food outlets…
• 16. …and the plastic cutlery is useful for when washing up seems too stressful
• 27. You took a coat to be dry-cleaned once and talked about it for days because it made you sound so grown-up
• 28. You still make a Christmas list each year…

Guilty as charged!

• 4. Your ultimate career goal is to get to the point where you can go to work in your pyjamas

Been there, done that, still doing it. I win!

My definition of an adult is someone who has paid all their own bills for one year.

18. You do not own a toolbox

I've always owned toolboxes. I thought being a "proper grownup" was when they stopped being furniture.

1. Umm...I’m the Network Administrator for a decent sized school District. So, yeah... I wait in eager anticipation for Summer break so I can have some peace and quiet to go fix all the things they’ve broken over the past school year.

A lot of the rest of that crap is so metro-sexual it could only have been written in either New York or the UK. Change a light bulb? Clean your room? Weep for the species...

[Turbo Pig]

Big rule in my house is that you aren’t a grown up, unless you pay ALL your own bills and expesnses. Also, grown up status, and all the inherent perks like not having to follow my rules ALL THE TIME, is revoked if you come back to live in my basement.

For me these are signs I am too old. I don’t understand half of these points.

[COBOL2Java]

One Sign You’re Not a Proper Grown-Up Yet

You're elected President of the United States

[bgill]

I’ve paid my own bills and changed light bulbs longer than the author has probably been alive but do half the other things on the list. Nothing wrong with cereal and sandwiches or working in your pjs.

26. You’ve lived away from home for years, but your bank statements still go to your parents’ address

Son #3. His mail goes into a draw on the table under the TV. He swings by about once a week to pick it up

Been living on his own for 6 years.

How about not having a bank account?

Me? I’ve had a checking account since I was in college. The two young women (29, 26) living with me pay everything, including the rent, in cash. Neither of them have ever had any bank account. The 29-yr.-old shares her parents’ cellphone plan. Both of them rely on me for Wi-Fi.

I don’t get it. Is this a generational thing, or is it just them?
