1. You now have 800 different usernames and password combinations. Good luck keeping up with them.

That one’s for you, Dad 🙂

8. You have very little hope for the next generation.

And just saying that makes you feel like you’re 82 instead of 22.

9. You start to search the hell out of Pinterest wedding ideas even though you haven’t even started paying off your student loans yet and can’t even commit to a movie selection on a Friday night.

10. Coupons matter.
