Being able to afford to go on trips on your own. Having sex with your wife. Drinking on a school night. Your parent relationship is awesome during this stage.

you can remember a time before stuff was around, and therefore appreciate it. like i still really am thankful for high def tv sports because i remember low def 4:3 ratio TV sports. Also I can remember dot matrix printers and so I can truly appreciate a nice quite lazer one

the con to this is that it is very difficult to make any new and actual meaningful friends after a certain age. like almost impossible.

True, but it makes me realize how much I was missing out  on it in my younger days. Mrs Wacky thinks I look totally sexier with facial hair and i've gotten that more than once. I get death stairs when I shave it all off, because I look like a child.

The facial hair conversation is interesting. I remember be so incredibly jealous of the guy in my class who could grow a beard / had chest and armpit hair before anyone else. But that guy had to start shaving so early that I don't envy it at all in retrospect.

If you're single and making decent money, just being able to make decisions like going to NYC for five days and doing what you want without consulting anyone or considering anybody else's wants and needs and just doing it for you.
Title: Re: Pros to being an Adult
Post by: cfbandyman on August 18, 2016, 06:30:28 PM
Having pretty solid facial hair is nice. I don't grow the best beard but it's solid, and it's better to trim the beard and shave the neck part than having to shave the whole damn thing. Plus it makes me look more like an adult.

You mean like some dude that goes door to door down strip malls and tries to undercut the other cc co. Or set some biz newbie up for the first time and is on straight commish but the guy he works for makes him a Indy contractor so he doesn't have to pay payroll taxes?  That kind?  Cuz they are adults I guess

Difficult maybe but not impossible. I am at least two decades older than three of my closest friends. I was just in a wedding of a friend more than twenty years younger than me.  We've been friends for about ten years, and I am really old.
