Be the Adult your Childhood Self Imagined

Perhaps you've heard the term "adulting," the concept of carrying out the obligations of adulthood that you'd rather not have. Well let's all celebrate the joys of being a Grown Up. The focus here is how to get the most out of life and maximize your fun.

Sure you need to learn how to budget and pay off your debts (and there is excellent advice for it here) but you also get to decide where to go to dinner and how long to stay out.

This book has lots of smart advice— even if you've been doing this for years. Find some joy in your privilege.
