Building Breaks into Adult Life

tags:: #reflection #Writing #Writing/prompt

When asked what caught them off guard about becoming an adult, this random persons response caught my attention:

How it just goes on endlessly.
When you're a kid, there's a summer break every year, and a new school to go to in a couple of years. Whatever part of your life you are in is clearly delimited and there is something new to look forward to after it.
Once you're an adult, it's just 5 days of work and 2 days of weekend over and over and over until you die.

I want to reflect on this. Because this is why I want financial independence.
