I’m 31, engaged and have a mortgage yet still wouldn’t class myself as an adult.
When I got to thirty, I felt experienced and thought I knew everything about life. When I got to forty, I realised that life is a learning experience and you will never become so experienced that you never make bad decisions. External factors also played a part. I stopped house-sharing and moved in with my boyfriend. Having our own space, cleaning and cooking together, buying plants and rugs – these things all feel deliciously adult to me.
Being a certain age doesn’t make you an adult every time – it’s how you conduct yourself and your experiences.I think the moment I moved in with my now wife, in my mid-20s, I began to feel and behave more like an adult. I quickly realised I’d been living a pretty selfish existence and now, suddenly, literally almost every decision I made would impact on someone other than myself.
Vut saying that – heading for mid thirties – I don’t care half as much what other people think of me like I used to – and that’s a huge relief.I don’t feel like an adult and I hope I never do. I always assume that I am the same age as people on shows such as Love Island and get a shock when they are literally 10 years younger than me.
I started to feel like an adult when I took on the mortgage for my own place at 31 ,having saved for 12 years by living at home. I reckon, ‘an adult on paper’ is probably someone who takes care of monthly bills and has a grasp on their finances, thinks about retirement planning and knows how and when to plant things in their garden/allotment.

Black panther load of crap . New Jack city brilliant film boys in the hood brilliant film .. Amazing, who invented this language of calling black, read and brown people ‘people of colour’? what does it mean? The others are colourless or what ? If white is a colour, then we are all people of colour. In that case Winston_Duke is a stupid human.
