So I haven't been on VgChartz for a while, mostly due to school constraints.

It surely wasn't a 'happy moment' to turn 18 years of age. I feel like it's more of a burden, where responsiblities and duties overshadow what should be a properous opportunity to do many things I wasn't able to do before. 

But I come before the VgChartz community to ask what were some of the challenges you faced in your early years of adulthood.

Also what are some objectives that must be completed. I mean what things should I know how to do? For example taxes, credit, other legal matters, skills, etc...

Don't worry, all the "Responsibility" talk is mostly just old guys getting lazy, you'll be surprised how many "Adults" act like children going forward with your life, its not about age at all, its about maturity.

Even more important than doing your taxes and balancing a checkbook is managing your budget. Look at how much you make and what your necessities are and learn how to pay your bills and save some money every month. Don't think just because you want something that you need it. You need water, electricity and food. Everything else can be lived without. It's very, VERY important to learn how to keep a responsible budget so you aren't living paycheck to paycheck worried if you'll be able to both eat and keep the electricity on. Do that and you'll be able to buy the things that make life enjoyable like video games and still have some left over for that down payment on a house you'll be looking into in about 10 years.

Oh and don't jump the gun on owning property either. Build up credit, pay your bills, and rent for at least 5 years and ideally 10. That way you'll have a sizable savings account to help with financing.

Oh and don't lease a car and don't buy new. Find a decent reliable used vehicle that meets your needs and pay cash. That way you won't have yet another monthly payment decreasing your savings. It's better to drive a used car with a few scratches then buy or lease and watch money disappear as the rig drops in value. You'll be able to afford a new car when later.

Oh and never "rent to own" anything. Total waste of money.

Have sex.

Don't spend more in a month than you make. In pretty much every other way you can remain a child.

Are you starting work, or are you still a dependent? I'm 22 and looking for full-time work still, and more or less still living like a kid (except that i have student loan payments coming. Pretty much everything else is still covered by my folks). The responsibilities of adulthood come earlier or later than 18 depending on your circumstances (i'm hoping to start independent adulthood at age 23 at the latest...)

Absolutely nothing changed for me whatsoever when I turned 18.

Well yea as people have said above. Probably the one thing that comes with adulthood is to learn to taking care of your earnings (money). Don't spend crazy amounts and waste, make sure you keep an eye out on your bank account to make sure you can verify all exchanges that are happening.

All the other things such as legal matters, etc will come to you naturally over time. You will just have to read a lot and make decisions, ones that your parents and guardians did beforehand for you. Other than that, you will become more mature as you grow, but nothing much changes about who you are. This whole turning 18 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overplayed.

Nothing changes at 18... well it depends on your parents mostly, I'm 22, dropped out of college (most likely returning though), work part time, get drunk everyday, party and go to concerts, play video games and get laid. Life is good, hardly any responsibilities... until i get kicked out that is :P

What responsibility lol

I'm almost 20 and being an adult is pretty good, less restraints.
