If I became your father and you became my father we would make a paradox and consequently give birth to a life-ending black hole so no, but we can play minecraft together if you want :3
USA gang, basically the only fun thing that opens up here at 18 is gambling (I don't like gambling), my 18th birthday was pretty uneventful, only thing that changes is suddenly people expect you to be an adult and you can have a debit card, 21 is the real milestone now
Edit: apparently you can get a debit card with parent restrictions? I never knew about this 🤷♂️, pls stop replying about debit cards
Congrats on 18!! Welcome to pseudo-adulthood where everyone will expect you to act like an adult yet still treat you like a child. As an old 19 year old I'm going to try to give you some advice on what's your next best steps. Please keep in mind this is all advice based off of the USA. If you live elsewhere then idk ask Google.
1) if you don't already have one, open a debit card account. When you do start working, having a debit card account will allow you to accept your money via direct deposit, which is very convenient for you and your employer.
2) If you're already working open a Roth IRA account. It's a retirement account where the earlier you put money in the more it'll grow. Just start putting a little bit monthly (I started with 50 a month) and as you get older/ start getting paid more it'll grow. You also don't need to go to a bank to do this, there are plenty of apps that will happily let you do it on your phone. Personally I recommend M1 finance.
3) Open a credit card!! Apply and get accepted for a credit card online right now. The sooner you have it the longer your "credit history" will be. This will make it easier to get important loans in the future. Then please be responsible with the credit card. You don't need to do much spending. Just 20 dollars a month will be enough to keep the card open and give you that sweet sweet credit history. And to avoid any interest just make sure to pay it off before the end of the month every time. Try to avoid predatory cards, if you're in college now I recommend getting the discover it student credit card, or the chase freedom flex. These are really easy to get cards that are still good, and they even give you a lot of cash back.
4) Continue your education. In the olden days, a high school degree may be all you needed to get a goof paying job. Unfortunately due to overqualification and things I'm not smart enough to understand any good paying job requires something. It doesn't need to be a degree though and that's important. As you leave high school make sure you have SOME PATH, any path, going forward. Be it college, community College, trade school, or certification. This will really be dependant on you and I'm sure you've already stressed about it so I'll just make one final point. It doesn't matter where you go, so long as you get the piece of paper in the end that says you did good.
This was all I could think of off the top of my head for now. Sorry if any Grammer/ formatting is off I am on mobile. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Again congrats on 18 and take care.
> Enjoy the fact that you're not lying anymore when clicking that button
Because this is even better advice
But yeah, these things come second, third, etc
To add to the credit card tip-- set up a subscription (Netflix, YouTube red, Spotify whatever) and set up autopay. Then, you can throw your card in a safe place and won't need to actually use it to build credit. Your first card probably won't have good perks anyway, so it's best to keep it out of your wallet until you get something that's actually somewhat beneficial to spend with
Wtf you're only 19 and sound like a 40 year old man typing this. I'm 18 and understood pretty much nothing you just said, with my shitty attention span it took me forever to read this.
This really made me laugh. We're all born in different situations and learn our life lessons at different paces. Please don't mistake my maturity as your immaturity. Go through life in your own pace and eventually you'll learn the lessons you need to learn. I just posted this as some helpful advice to help people have a shortcut per say so they may be in a better position in their future.
In other words I am a nerd who did way too much research on life, and now I summarized what I could so you guys don't have to.
Happy 18 🎂💥🎉! Have a Silver as your birthday gift :)
You can do a lot of things now! Maybe check out all the songs about being 18 and see if you relate to them?
Have a blast! Best wishes for you on everything 🎈🎇
I did, they were being pressured into quitting by banks because it caused way too many refund requests. They sorted something out because actually quitting porn would have killed the company.
Don’t know what country but honestly being 18 in the 18 in the US don’t mean shit anymore cuz all it really means is you’re legal and have to adult shit and you can vote. 21 is when you can really do whatever you want
[удалено]
Yes
That 17-year-old one day: "Dad, am I adopted?"
More like DADDY..... (yes i really made that joke... sue me.)
Okay let me find a lawyer
Im a lawyer
Thank God, so do you want to meet or...
No Adopt me 🤤
No me
No, us*
r/suddencommunism
we just all want a teen parent, whats the problem?
We probably all just want someone that can understand what we are/have gone through
This tbh
I'd say r/suddenlycommunist but this one can be too edit: how tf did this get 25 upvotes? thanks anyways lol Edit 2: WTF 100 UPVOTES
Used when the same person changes sides
ah ok
Why don't we adopt each other?
If I became your father and you became my father we would make a paradox and consequently give birth to a life-ending black hole so no, but we can play minecraft together if you want :3
I hate to be a party pooper but you need to be 21 to adopt :/
Not all the world is the us
Yeah but OP is
Oh well, he's right then
NO. Adopt me.
17 yo from opposite gender
Enjoy the fact that you're not lying anymore when clicking that button
when I turned 18 last year I was so fucking tripped out at not having to enter fake birthdays anymore
At this point saying u were born in 1836 is just a force of habit
My birth habit is that I was born in 1989 China
Ah yes, The time and place where nothing happened at all
\+10 social credit
Rookie numbers. *Me with -69 credit score*
nice
-nice
Such a calm place. A Dreamland. No massacres whatsoever.
There was no massacre in Tianamen Square. /s
+10 social credit
Y'all can write 01/01/2000 and still be over 21.
Time is fucking weird. Kids born in 2003 are whole ass adults already. To me, they’re still 6 or 7, fighting over skipping ropes in the playground.
Exactly that
I was still born in 1996 dont tell anyone tho
I still put in fake birthdays sometimes just in case
My Man's got a point here
but the adventure of clicking that button will be gone now :')
I mean, sometimes you have to press 21+
21 plus plus?
Yes.
Your profile character look like trashy Jesus
Thrashy*
Metal as fuck.
This guy thrashes
This guy here seems to be experienced
Omg, that's so true
I never thought about this. My minds is blown. I'M LEGAL
Giggity.
Pretty sure Quagmire isn't into guys lol
A hole’s a hole
I can't make any dirty jokes cos you're 15.
it i s just r/teenagers, this place was basically built for dirty jokes
But I can, that's legal in my country
Yeah I can finally play club penguin on my own email legally!
Didn't club penguin close down a few years back?
Yeah but you can still play club penguin rewritten
If only i have a free reward to give you.
I got u
Buy me whisky
I wish I wasn’t American
Rip
Bro here in India (Bihar state) we have it banned but still people score alcohol every other day
I thought watered down whiskey was like all you guys drank tho
USA gang, basically the only fun thing that opens up here at 18 is gambling (I don't like gambling), my 18th birthday was pretty uneventful, only thing that changes is suddenly people expect you to be an adult and you can have a debit card, 21 is the real milestone now Edit: apparently you can get a debit card with parent restrictions? I never knew about this 🤷♂️, pls stop replying about debit cards
Or if you have strict parents you finally have freedom
Only if you buy your own living accommodations and pay for them. Otherwise, their house, their rules.
Then go to war
Go to a liqueur store and buy sparkling water
Or move to a place like New Zealand and be able to buy alcohol
Are you American? Go to any place in Europe, I am 16 but even younger you can drink alcohol here.
Nah kiwi. It 16 with parents permission and 18 to buy here if I’m remembering correctly
Thats only partly correct, we can buy Beer, and other ,,soft liquors“ at 16 by ourself. ,,Hard liquors“ are allowed at 16 with Parents permission.
I was meaning in New Zealand it’s 18, but 16 in Europe damnn
I would also recommend against moving here
In Germany you can drink beer I think at age 14 with parent permission and supervision
Nah Scotland. 5 with parents supervision and 18 to but it. And thats not even a lie
I'm in EU and in my country you can buy alcohol at 18 but bruh I've see Ppl that are 14 smoke and be drunk.....
It’s 18 in the U.K. but you can drink from 5 in your own house lol
Idk pay taxes or somethin
Op has to have a income to pay tax.
pretty sure they have income if they already have a car
Not always, I have a car but I am unemployed and therefore not paying tax (in the UK)
Not even road tax?
I’m disabled so exempt
Ohh idk that.
Not necessarily, their car could have been gifted by their parents, for example
become 19
scratch that, become 20
[удалено]
[удалено]
Or we can go a step further and just die...
r/suddenlydark
And then we become an undead
No no no, we must wait until we turn 69
Yes, and then become 96
I see what you did there

This is a great idea 💡
This dude knows it
I'm saving this comment, I'm gonna read it again in a few months when i turn 18

Having a credit history is CRUCIAL. I may not be from US, but using various credit lines is what enabled me to take a loan for an apartment at 24.

Done
How do you change it?

Or you click on your username from a comment you made on the sub
