I’ve been having to do some grown-a$$ sh%t lately. It deserves a four letter word.
I have kids.
But that definitely does not make me grown up. (What up Teen Mom!?).
Yeah, kids are hard. But Snooki can do it, so come on.
I own a house.
But we still haven’t climbed out of the recession that allowed people to get balloon mortgages for 110% of their house value.
That is not grown up–that’s just taking candy from a candy store.
But you know what is grown-up?
Like, no one is ever going to make a reality show out of this stuff, or lament over the gilded decadence of these decisions, or even want to discuss this sh%t over a kid-free cappuccino?
- Wills and living wills,
- Transferring and consolidating 401k’s, and
- Loan modifications.
Throw in there some serious mattress shopping and a trip to the car dealer for a recall repair, and you know you are a grown-a$$ woman.

- Go to getyourshittogether.com to find advice and free templates for kicking that living will in the ass.
- I can’t fill out those nasty 401k transfer forms for you, but I will say our financial adviser–another person you are not going to see fist pumping on the Jersey Shore–has made this much less painful. I love ours and will share him with you upon request.
- Loan modifications. Hmmm… Just bend over and take that one in the you-kn0w-where. That’s where banks usually like to give it to you, anyhow.
Wills and living wills are a MUST! Kids or no kids.
So true!
Love you! Love your show!
Lol…. Yes, those words all make me feel like running and hiding. I think, how did my parents know how to do this stuff, did they feel like me (which means like a complete idiot) about this, and this, THIS, is why I feel like a crabby-pants momma sometimes and not a whatever goes momma. Because there are times when being a grown up SUCKS! Although being able to go get myself an ice cream whenever I want does make up for some of those times
I hear ya sista. BTW, we’re trying to put an offer on that house tonight, but Wendi is outa town and her backup isn’t calling me back. Come on! I wan’t to spend $XXX,XXX tonight. Why won’t anyone help me?
Omg I needed to read this today. I thought I was a bad ass cuz I got my life insurance policy set up and own a home (well, in 30 yrs it’ll be mines lol). But clearly I’m not as grown as I thought. Ive been putting off the will/living will thing for a while now . But with 2 teen boys I need to get it together asap. Thanks for the reminder
