  1. Red Flags

    12.12.2009 by Shannon

    Signs that you are now, officially, an Adult:

    1)  You read leaflets titled “Paid Family Leave Insurance Program” while sitting on the toilet…

    2)  …and find them so interesting you don’t want to get up.

    3)  You regularly differentiate between “calendar year 2010″ and “fiscal year 2010.”

    4)  You develop a crush on anyone who uses the words “Retirement,” “Maximum” and “Contribution” all in the same sentence.

    5)  You have wet dreams about your Health Benefits.

    6)  You have a credit card…

    7)  … and look forward to how many Gold Rewards Points you have accrued this month.

    8)  You’ve replaced  “crash” with “turn in” when referring to going to sleep.

    9) You know what the acronym “HIPAA” stands for…

    10)  …and use it in daily conversation.

    11)  Instead of going online to check Facebook, more and more you go online to research annual percentage rates.

    12)  You have replaced your Cosmo and US Weekly magazines with subscriptions to Money, Fortune and The Economist…

    13)  …and you are actually interested in reading them rather than using them as coffee table decor.

    14) You find yourself thinking that one day, you, too, would like to be a member of AARP.

    One clear sign you are, however, still very much a kid:

    1. You still make lists of all the ways in which you are an “Adult.”
