Here I Stand, A Grown Ass Child

So you're in your late 30s to early 40s. Through your own accounts and lifestyle, you consider yourself a grown ass man or woman. Nobody can tell you a damn thing. You're an adult, you handle yours. These young kids don't know anything about grinding to get their just due. They don't know about saving at the least 40% of your income so you can survive in the future. They don't know about a mortgage, taxes, and all the other responsibilities of being an "adult."

But what about you Mr/Mrs "Adult?" If you are in fact a grown ass man or woman, why are you trying to imitate these youngsters out here? Just because they are out here following the latest pop culture trend, what makes it cool for you--a grown ass man or woman--to follow suit? Oh, that's right. There's this rousing, inspirational saying that's motivating you right now. 

What's that shit again? "Crack is whack?"

No that's not it. Wait, wait I got it: "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." Nooo, no not it either. Aha, I got it--- 

"Forty is the new 30."
