What is being an adult like?

That my friend, is being an adult... inexpensive health care versus a little more money an hour... go with the health care... cause when you need it, it's gonna cost you a lot... and if you have good health care and it's inexpensive, you've got it made!! Beats telling the Dr., no, I can't do that test cause it's a $250 deductible and I don't have it... or even better, the Dr. you like is no longer in network, so now it's a $500 deductible or you find another Dr.... cause then it's only a $20 co-payment...

Being an adult as others have said, entails resposibilities... and it is expensive to live... I feel sorry for those trying to get by on minimum wage and trying to support a family, or even themselves with no help from anyone... that's why I won't force my kids out on their own... (22 and 19) Course I would like to see the 22 year old with more than a part time job, like one that had health insurance... sigh.. but the 19 year old has a full time job with health insurance and is going to college which she is paying for herself... she said today when her books were more expensive than she had the money for, that she had to go to college because she couldn't be a cashier the rest of her life... and that is what being an adult is... weighing the options and doing the best you can with what you have... and hoping that it's enough to get by on....

Oh, another note on being an adult... the older you get, the less things work the way they used to when you were young... like your mind, your body... well, you get the idea... *laugh*
