Woo... 18.

[Stupot]

At this point masturbating starts getting frustrating when before it was exciting, and it's all downhill from there. Happy birfday!

Speak for yourself Tuommy-boy.  I'm still as addicted now as I was ten years ago

Well, you know, as soon as you reach 18 and it becomes legal, there's no fun in getting drunk any more. You have to move on to harder stuff like Crack and Heroin.

[Akatosh]

Don't worry, you can legally drink (wussy) beer in Germany at the tender age of 16. Must be a tradition thing. Anything else is at 18, though. And Heroin is a tad expensive right now, so I'll have to stick with the occasional beer. 

Still, Me Go Pub is up as soon as I can locate enough of my peers to make the celebration worthwhile. Still, Me Go Brothel, Me Go Bankrupt In Run-Down Casio and Me Go Throwing Up In Back Alley And Subsequently Beaten Unconscious By Gang Of Thugs will have to wait a tad.

At least I'm one year closer to sweet, sweet death, huh?

Don't want to turn this thread into a stupid political/religous/alcoholic debate, but it's interesting that (in the USA) driving fast hunks of metal becomes legal at 16, voting and deciding the future at 18, drinking alchohol at 21, and renting a car at 25.

But the brain doesn't fully mature until 25, but some fairly life-changing decisions/habits are made before that.

I turn 28 in a week and a half...feels weird to be ten years older than someone who just turned adult...

But boy, am I happy to have grown since then...

Yeh and it makes me laugh (in England at least) that at 16 you can join the Army and go off and die for your country... but you have to wait until you're 18 before you can vote for the man who ultimately is the one who decides whether or not you are going to war  ... oh well.

I remember 28. I miss 28. :'(

That 2 year buffer until you hit 30. Sweet.

18 is lost to me in the mists of time.

Man, I'd forgotten that I was your elder by those essential two days. And I agree, somehow I can't accept that someone who was born in the 1990s can now be an adult...

I think this means that we're now officially too old to try and crash freshers party nights at universities, as we are obviously so old and mature that we couldn't pass for niave teenagers any more.

But boy, am I happy to have grown since then...

I'd like to claim the same, but never mind...

Akatosh, you were still in diapers when I graduated from HS in 1991. 

I will be 36 in February. I hate getting older.  :'(

As a highly wisened and experienced fellow who is an entire two years your senior, the most important advice that I can give you is that credit card debt is society's way of stopping complete morons from having too much control in the world. Credit cards are for convenience; if you can't pay it off the instant you get home, don't use a credit card to buy it.

[Stupot]

Seconded.
And to be honest there are very few things that can be bought on credit card that can't be bought on debit card... porn being the only thing I can think of at the moment... CCs make you look grown-up by the ruin many people's lives.  And the banks will be sending you invitations into debt for the rest of your life, so be vigilant.

[Makeout Patrol]

I use credit because it's faster than debit in person and because I can't use debit online... I've heard people talk about how it's possible, but it never has been for me. Maybe it's a Canadian thing? That said, I always make sure my balance is 0 at least once a week, and usually every evening that I've used it. Paying interest on a credit card is about the dumbest waste of money I can imagine.

[Dualnames]

I actually remember that my friends decided to go to a place you can only get admitance if you're over 18.(not a bordel house), so we went a day before i closed my birthday. And they didn't let us in because i was 17.9999. So I said to the guy to the door : "Man, wtf will happen in one day that hasn't happened to me in 17 years?

[Play_Pretend]

Give or take, I'll  be 30 in approximately 386 days.  *sob*

Dude you're still 28 you still have like 21 days before you need to start feeling down about that

My brother's debit card is both through his bank (a local Utah one) and Visa, so he uses it online all the time. Accepted wherever Visas are.
