While I firmly believe that certain milestones smack you into "adult" status (buying a house, reproducing, taking care of or weathering an ill parent), there are other markers as well, and despite my own maturity, I've had... trouble with them over the years.
This comes as a shock to no one.
Many of them have to do with either authority or finances, and I've been in the past, a mess with both.
I'm struggling to do better, for many reasons, my own sanity top amongst them.
So, I want high praise and accolades for the fact that in the past few months I have done the following:
1) Signed up for my company's 401K. I don't want any grief about not doing this sooner, all I want is praise for finally having done it.
2) Paid my parking ticket.... wait for it... on time. (Mostly. And I paid it online. But I frigging paid it before it turned into a $150 ticket that I had to pay to register my car and that, folks, is a milestone).
3) Honestly looked at my bank balance, calculated what I needed to save, paid off some outstanding bills that I didn't realize were outstanding, and just got some of that in order.
I'm going to leave work early tonight to do laundry, so if the apocalypse comes, blame me.

That sound of sincere, non-sarcastic clapping you just heard? That was me. You're ahead of me on the whole 401(k) thing, by the way.
I'm putting my laundry away for the first time in a month. So there!
