Women Reveal The Funniest Triumphs and Defeats Of Adulting

They don't tell you how hard it is to be an adult when you're a kid, so you only find out that adulting is a trap once you become an adult, and at that point, it's too late. Unfortunately, time machines don't exist just yet, so we can't turn back time to the good old days. Until technology advances, we're all in this together, and we totally got this, fam! If generations before us were able to pull it off, we sure as hell can too. Women take to Twitter on a weekly basis to share how they're progressing as adults, and how they're failing too because none of us are perfect and we can always try again next week. Scroll down to get this adulting party started!

    Font - Font - Cheyenne y @chyyyymtz Adulting is seeing a package of meat for $10.47 but putting it back because you see another one that's $10.24. 6:52 PM · Apr 15, 2021 · Twitter for iPhone

    It truly is the little things in life, and the price of meat happens to fall under the little things. Once you master the art of budgeting, you get one step closer to mastering the art of 'adulting.' One small step at the grocery store, one major step for this adulting lady.

    This woman sounds like she knows exactly what she's doing. I would really appreciate it if she could give me notes because I would really love to master the art of 'adulting' as she has. Like all the other adult women out there, I am dying to peak too!
