$250.00. That is the price of adulthood. Just in case you ever want to return to childhood. As I've learned working at this consulting company the last few months, if you want to sell your current situation to pursue a different one, you have to sell out at the value your current situation is worth. So, I figure it can't be too much to buy out a child's life and if I can find a nice teenager who wants to be an adult,...they can have my adult life for $250.00.

I know I should probably charge more, but I have a great rationale (today) for reaching this value on adulthood. I keep telling everyone I have only two current bills, my cell phone and a credit card, which my salary must support (luckily, this isn't tough to do). Yesterday, I realized I was wrong. My car, even though it is paid for, still needs money to feel adequate. Thing with cars, unlike bills, is you never know when it's coming. So, last night when the tech working on my car called with good and bad news, I knew I was in for a shock. The good news...the engine light was on because of an oxygen sensor covered under warrenty (although I swore I didn't have one anymore) and would not cost anything. (YEA!) the bad news...as they were cheking causes for my engine light to be on, they saw I needed new front brakes. (BOO!) So, that, in addition to my oil change...$250.00.

I guess along with growing up comes responsibility and money worries. I always wanted to grow up, be 25, have my own apartment a great job, a cute little convertible BMW..we even played it when I was younger. Now, at almost 27, I'd sell adulthood for the price it takes to fix my little Honda Civic, since my "great job" isn't supporting my "own apartment". I like my little car, don't get me wrong. And it's paid for...which is even better. But the sunroof is broken, then passenger seat has BBQ sauce (in mass quantities) on it from the leaking Crockpot I took full of meatballs to my old roommates housewarming (what a mess!), and in general, it could use a good cleaning inside and out. I guess I'm just ready for something that's mine. You know, a house I can decorate, and paint, and furnish (although that costs money, but still....) or a new car...something that represents the stage I should be in my life.

So this is my officialy notice:

One adult life. Good condition. Lived in. A bit broken in, but with very good potential for the right owner. $250.00.
