    Yeah taxes suck and being a kid was fun but I wouldn’t go back. Being an adult is so much better.

      Yarp i like being an adult, it’s the part about the world being poo and the assumption that it’s responsibility to fix it that I’m hatin’.

      I’m fine with taxes but i should still have hopes! I should still get to do fun! It’s not fair that the fun got all sucked out! It’s all been sucked out! And it wasn’t even too terribly long ago.

      I hear lots of stories (i bet y’all have too) from people who have worked any job for 10-20 years about how much more fun or at least laid back it used to be.

      Being an adult should be fun. I should get to, with my adult freedoms, do the things i dreamed of as a child! I don’t need to have the white ferrari testarossa from Miami vice but i should have the house and a nice life where i can take a month or two off every year.

      Yes i should Bygawad!

      Ok to finish my very serious missive, It’s not being an adult that’s the sucky part, it’s definitely the poo world.

        Hey move to Europe friend. I have 5 weeks vacation (going to negotiate for more this year) and bought my house 3 years ago. It was an arm and a leg to be fair but my monthly mortgage payments now are sub 1k for a family home.

        My wife and I both work 40 hours but could drop to 32 if we really wanted and still be comfortable. Most families I know at least one partner works part time.

      Unless you have a complicated tax situation it only takes like an hour or two to file taxes anyways.

      Being a healthy adult with a stable job and no kid is the best time I have ever had.

    Not exactly the kind of “level up” we are grown to expect from RPG’s 😐

    Well, not taxes per se, tho it sounds weird saying to make room for all the low wages he’s getting.

    Growing up, I was led to believe there was nothing more grueling than paying your taxes. They would be the bane of my adult life, a torturous experience that would drag you down and age you prematurely.

    It’s like 2-3 hours of my life a year. I legitimately never think about them otherwise.

      Protip: save yourself 2-3 hours a year by committing tax evasion!

      Or be boring and live in a country where it is done for you

    Stay a kid forever? You know those narcissists who do shit like litter, drive like jerks, etc? They didn’t grow up.

    Jimmy made a mistake… having a two syllable nickname when his name is already one. Jameses of the world, don’t accept nicknames longer than your name!
