3. You start to get calls from bill collectors at least once a week
4. You get EXTREMELY upset when your daily routine is thrown off 
5. You get stupidly excited about being able to buy a good week of groceries (anything outside of the frozen food section)
6. You hate shopping (it means spending money you don't have)
7. But you LOVE online shopping (internet money isn't real money.... right?)
8. You make projects out of nothing on the weekends because you can no longer have a "lazy weekend"
9. Your joints and bones have begun to crack and ache in the mornings and randomly throughout the day
10. You find new things on your body (a new freckle here, a new, very large dark spot there as you are twisting and have become a body contortionist in the mirror looking at your back side)
11. You ask your significant other to become your doctor and ob-gyn when something funky is going on
12. You go to bed at 9:00pm and can no longer sleep in
13. You ask your aunt and other family members for hand-me-down clothes
14. You get excited about trying out new recipes
15. You have to make one "adult" phone call a day whether it be to the bank, work, paying bills, etc.
16. While sitting at dinner you pretend you're playing on your phone when in reality you're online banking trying to figure out how you're going to pay for the bill.
17. Having to decide between groceries and food for the week or to pay that one bill that you've pushed off for a *cough cough* month or two
18. You go to the gym not only to "look good" because you know it's actually good for your health 
19. You have a real, legit dining room table set
