Daily Prompt: All Grown Up!

I glimpsed today’s ‘Daily Post‘ question from WordPress and thought I’d give it a go. 

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

I could say that I felt like a grown up when I left my parents house, traveled across the ocean, and started living on my own. I had a first hand experience of how life was as an adult; managing my own finances, and basically taking care of me. There’s no mommy and daddy to call on to pay for various things because I had a job and was now challenging myself to do it without them. So far, it’s been tough but I’ve made it thus far and will continue to do so.
