Sorry to hear that. I'm trying to become mentally and physically prepared to sell our family business. I'd go into more about it, but I don't feel like airing the dirty laundry.

It's okay. I'll be the bacon winner for a little bit. :P
Having to plan "fun" things around my job make me feel all grown up. :P
Also, calling companies or people who have very powerful jobs.

Hmmm, probably three years ago, when I moved from home to a different state to go to vet school. That, and when I bought my own car, leased my own place, and bought five vending machines to help with my financial obligations. Nine months to go, and I'm a vet. I think my adult life will feel much more complete when that happens.

Vending machines? Does this work? Cause if so I'm gonna go for it.

lol
It depends on location, what you're selling, and who you know. It's been working for me. I mean, I haven't worked since I started my clinicals, and it pays for all of my bills, and my living expenses. I wanted to buy more, but having five is a lot for one person.

Sen, sorry to hear your bad news. I've been there and done that. That sure made me feel like an adult... a screwed-over adult. But it all worked out in the end.
Animate, ITA. Telling off my father when he tried to get me to break off my engagement, and telling him off again when he tried to get me not to move in with my fiancé because we weren't married yet, definitely made me feel like an adult. It's the whole "I'm not a child any more and I don't have to obey your orders" thing.
Buying our first house is definitely on the list. I remember my husband, at the closing, holding the Big Check (the one that the bank writes, for the cost of the house less our down payment) and shaking like a leaf.
And then there are the usual milestones... moving from my parents' house into my dorm, opening my first bank account, getting my first credit card, voting for the first time, having my first legal drink, moving into my first apartment ("in sin" with my fiancé), starting my first job out of college, buying my first car... the usual stuff.

I walked outside one night to take the garbage out because I dumped shelfish in it... My mom would have ripped me a new one for doing that. I realized, in my mind, I was saying her lines "Get your butt back in this house! Anything could happen at this time of night, trash can wait until morning."
I feel like an adult when I do things my mom would frown upon and there's no one to nag me

Being able to talk to my parents in a tone that says "I'm an adult and I handle my life. Please let me do so or face my wrath." and them stepping back.
I just did this with my dad yesterday lol.

I wish I could say this. My mom calls me on the phone to nag. She just nags, nags, nags, and nags away. She still treats me like I'm 10.
