The Biggest Disappointments of Becoming An Adult

As a teenager, you probably had a lot of dreams or ideas of just how great it would be to be an adult.  No doubt, since becoming an adult, you've probably found out just how much you missed the mark on some of these thoughts.  

Hey, life is what you make of it, but it's crazy to reflect on just what we "thought" adulthood would be like compared to the reality of what it really is.

The website Reddit.com recently posted the question, "What was the biggest letdown for you after becoming an adult?"

And here are the Top 8 responses:

1.  You have to pay for everything.  Even the stuff you didn't know about, like insurance.

2.  You miss having an entire summer vacation.

3.  Just because you have a salary doesn't mean you have a ton of money to spare.  You can't just throw a thousand dollars around without thinking about it.

4.  You don't stop having pimples.

5.  You don't automatically become wise, mature, or rational.

6.  Having your own house isn't as cool as it sounds.  The buying process is horrible, things are constantly breaking, and the whole thing costs a fortune.

7.  Even though you can buy and eat anything you want, you feel sick and get chubby if you eat a whole box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch every day.

8.  You realize how much your parents did for you, what an ingrate you were.  And that no matter what you do now, you can't fully make up for it.
