Being an adult means taking responsibility for your own life, to the very best of your ability, and that can be different for different people.

Thank you for this. Well said.
Ad Intra, I think you're very smart for staying with your parents while you finish your education. I wish I had that opportunity.
I've been on my own since I was 16, so I was thrown into the adult world far too early. I am self-sufficient and have great survival skills, but there is certainly a lot missing in my development as an adult.
I'm now 45, and while I have adult moments and I am responsible, I rarely feel like a grown up. I think we have several ages in us all at once, and its fun to embrace that sometimes.
