Adulting is scam ðŸ˜
<p>Nobody told us that growing up is just a monthly subscription to things you must pay for.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let me explain how my day goes.</p><p><br/></p><p>I wake up and I'm hungry. </p><p><br/></p><p>Fine. </p><p>I eat.</p><p> Thirty minutes later, I'm hungry again. How?ðŸ˜</p><p><br/></p><p> Where is all this food going?</p><p><br/></p><p> Is my stomach running a business? </p><p><br/></p><p>Then comes data.</p><p> I bought 5GB in the morning and by afternoon it was gone.</p><p><br/></p><p> I only opened WhatsApp, I swear. </p><p>I didn't even watch anything. </p><p>Who is eating my data? MTN?????😒</p><p><br/></p><p>Then transport fare.</p><p> Last month it was ₦200. </p><p>This month it's ₦400, and the driver looks at me like I'm the one who raised the price.</p><p> "Madam, na so e be o." </p><p>Na so e be?</p><p> Since when? ðŸ˜</p><p><br/></p><p>Then skincare. </p><p>Because apparently, if you don't want your face to look like a crime scene, you must buy cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and something called "serum." </p><p><br/></p><p>Serum for what? </p><p>My face was fine in secondary school with just water and Vaseline. 😂</p><p><br/></p><p>And in the middle of all this, people say, "You should save money o." </p><p><br/></p><p>Save what?</p><p> With what? </p><p>I'm trying to stay alive here. </p><p>My savings plan is currently "hope." </p><p><br/></p><p>Adulthood was not in the brochure.</p><p><br/></p><p> The brochure showed independence, freedom, and doing whatever you want.</p><p><br/></p><p> It did not show me asking the rice seller, "Please, how much is a congo now?" and then saying "Ah, thank you" and walking away. </p><p><br/></p><p>But here's the funny part: we keep going.</p><p><br/></p><p> We complain, we laugh, we budget for things we already spent money on, and we wake up the next day to do it again. </p><p><br/></p><p>Somehow, we're all surviving, and nobody knows how. </p><p><br/></p><p>If you're also out here learning that adulting is a full-time job with no salary, you're not alone.</p><p><br/></p><p>  </p>
