I clicked this video, hoping to learn something new. Instead, I found the confidence and assurance that I'm actually adulting very well already. Thank you 😊
I would add 3 more to make it a clean 10: 8. Real estate - learn about pros vs cons renting and buying, learn laws of tenancy, capital gains tax, investment vs owning, and designs (houses, apartments, villas, townhouses, duplex) 9. Social calendar - the more adult people you know, the more discounts + freebies you can get, get a calendar to record birthdays, parties, family meets, friends outings etc. 10. Technology - master your PC, tablet, phone etc. Get a password manager so that you can login to everything, backup your data religiously, stay up to date and in warranty Honorable Mentions * Cleaning - Learn how to clean every surface properly, what products and tools needed, get a cleaning kit then replace pieces. Clean your home, office, car etc. regularly. * Cars - Learn to name + identify components of car, check prices of cars and items to know market costs, read car reviews and do test drives to stay in the know always
@@vivilonrane1330 agreed! and apparently learning how to use people > learn to clean. In this case I'm gonna add recognize when someone is using you to my list 😂
It can be very confusing, especially since many parents don't include their children in these tasks as they grow up and then simply expect the kids to know what to do.
I volunteered in an archive for a year after school and the whole thing with smalltalk with your colleagues was so weird to me. It was the first time in my life that adults treated me as an intellectual equal and it took a long time to just casually talk to them about their life and family (some of them had children older than me). Looking back I‘m so glad I did this job because it made me way more comfortable with talking to people that are intimidating because of their age or rank.
Interesting, I think my childhood was actually an advantage, I always got along with adults well and was included in conversations my mum had with friends. Certainly by the time I was 14 I was nearly an equal in the writing and woodworking courses I took with her, and not intimidated at all. My challenge has been time management and sticking to healthy habits, since as kid and teen I didn't really have any choice or control, just did what I was told.
I used my down time at the beginning of the pandemic to finally learn how to touch type after 50 years of using the hunt and peck method. It has been a MAJOR game changer for my work at the computer. It was a bit easier to learn than I expected it to be and now practicing my typing has become a meditative practice that helps with my anxiety and depression. The pay off for learning this skill is way greater than I imagined!
I completely agree about mending your own clothes. I've been thinking about this recently- I'd honestly have to watch a YT video before I was able to sew a button back on. And I'm in my late twenties! I also regularly throw out socks that get a hole in them. The total trainwreck of our economy now has me thinking I need to learn to darn them instead of just replacing 🙃
My grandmother taught me to sew (and no only that ) when I was 10. I'm so thankful for all the skills she shares with me ♥️ and I thought that everybody learned how to sew in the childhood))
I think most modern socks don’t work very well if you darn them. If you make any weird lumps the socks become unusable anyway, and if there is a hole it means that the whole thing is thin and worn out so you will just get more holes on the edges of what you repaired. In that case I think the time is worth more to you than the possibility of keeping something out of a landfill for a few more months at most.
@@emmanarotzky6565 I usually try to darn sweaters made of cashmere or wool, because I'd like to decrease amount of unethically made clothes I wear; sew on a button and things like that)
I think that with home repairs it really depends on the difficulty. I wouldn't mess with electricity or plumbing. If you live in an apartment trust me it's cheaper to hire a professional than to pay for your downstairs neighbor's apartment renovation after you accidentally flood his apartment.
Cooking also helps a lot in managing your expenses, since you need to organize your budget to buy food and other consumables. I'd say cooking, accounting and housekeeping are the top 3, in my experience. Get yourself a few tools to fix basic stuff. Most basic repairs are easy to learn and master, as long as you have the time and patience for it. If you don't have the tools, it's also good to keep at hand the contact of trustworthy people who can fix it for you. Also, learn to manage your time and the space you live in. Unless you work from home, you'd want to return to a relaxing place after the daily struggle. Save time for yourself, keep a tidy space to chill for a while and do nothing.
Great ideas Mariana!! This reminded me of "Home Economics" class and they definitely need to incorporate this class back in school curriculums!! Definitely sharing this with my granddaughters and grandson especially, that two just started high school!!💕🥰🙏🏼
In my case, it’s important to learn driving car or motorcycle given that the public transport in my country is not efficient and only focus at the big city.
I have ben watching your content for over 2 years by now and I was discovering my self in my late teens you were an inspiration to me in my study techniques and in my self improvement journey as well and now in my early twenties your videos are helping me to adult and become more mature correctly from here I want to thankyou for all the effort to put in making content and wish you all the best in your life may god protect you
Thank you for sincerely sharing your struggle with small talk, which I from time to time feel like impossible to set foot on. Inside my head, there is still a discriminating voice telling me whether it's friends or strangers. That's it. Nothing in between (the gray area).
I like that this video is practical useful advice instead of the usual "drink water, prioritize yourself, and have a fun time!". Not that the latter is bad advice, but it is completely worthless if your sink has been broken for 3 days, there is a chair full of dirty laundry and you've been procrastinating that 20 minute task for over 3 weeks. All of the latter was me some time ago.
Meh... I already knew this kind of stuff since i was 10 Mom already taught me how to do house chores... How to organize..she would advice me too when it comes to work place... Since I was in high school. She literally trained me at a young age of the responsibility of adults... Parents should train their kids already how to become responsibility...
Hi Mariana I've subscribed to your channel months ago and watching your videos without commenting anything. However, now I want to leave a comment to tell you that the messages, skills and knowledge that you conveyed in your videos really inspired me. Every piece of information in your videos have turned me from a teen struggling with tons of things to a more independent and well-rounded student (with a few times ranking 1st at school :) And at this time, when I'm about to leave the school life and move to aldulthood, you published this video (and it helped me a lot to be honest ^^) Wishing you best of health and success and many thanks from Vietnam
@@roneomathew3449 maybe the one "how to remember everything you read" I really love that video so I think you should give it a shot 🥰🥰 Btw, have a good day mate and good luck on your study ❤️❤️
One tough one it took me too long to understand when I was young (a long time ago) is that most of the world doesn’t give a stinky turd about you. Quality in relationships is more important than quantity
Honestly there should be some kind of class that you can take about adulting. I remember moving out of my parents home for the first time and having to learn a lot of basic adulting stuff. If it wasn't for the internet then I would have been screwed
When it comes to the political affairs, definitely research your local, state, and national politicians and government officials, but also the global organizations and entities that make major decisions about your country. Pretty much every government takes nearly half of your income through taxation, permits, registrations, tolls, restrictions, fees, inflation, etc... so it makes sense to explore your options and dedicate some time to stay on top of it. Don't just default to the established parties, like the Duopoly here in the US, but explore third parties and independent options, even if you are told that they don't have a chance.
Love this video. I feel like I got some points down at 21, like politics and cooking, but other things like bookkeeping and touch typing I could get beter at. Love these points.
Hello guys I do everything for the sake of studying. I hope you will join us so we can share the study sessions. It will appear as a first show, so turn on notifications.
Wow, I didn't realize this things is adulting skills, because everything of these, except for politics, most of Ukrainians know from the age of 13-15 UPD: in school we have a courses named "History of Ukraine" and "World's History" so we know a lot about ideology and politic😅
I don’t like to include that in the list because i don’t think everyone needs to be an entrepreneur. Some people simply aren’t suited to entrepreneurship, and that’s perfectly normal
@@mariana-vieira Because of my country (India) is huge growing market in the world in this time we indian have great opportunity to be a entrepreneur with a perfect ideas in perfect time.
Because we divide household chores and we decided I was in charge of laundry and he is in charge of plenty of other things? Lol, please don’t jump to conclusions 😂
This is just a running list that most people are already aware of and wish to tackle. I’m salty because I don’t have tons of time to watch RUclips and this was sort of a waste of time 🫠
1. 0:48 - Accounting, Bookkeeping, Paperwork
2. 2:01 - Mending, Treating, Laundry
3. 3:29 - Touch Typing
4. 4:49 - Negotiating, Introducing Yourself, Small Talk
5. 6:43 - Cooking basics

ah yes, making social connections for the purpose of discounts and getting things out of it. wtf 😅 this seems kinda heartless

"With great power comes great responsibity"-- Nah Outdated
" With great responsibility comes a lot of paperwork"--- Mariana 🤣
I'm 21 and I'm still so confused about adulting. Glad I have some basic bullet points to minimize the chaos 👍🏻
It can be very confusing, especially since many parents don't include their children in these tasks as they grow up and then simply expect the kids to know what to do.

I second that, the difference between what you think and what you type get's to zero. Almost like writing on paper :)
Mariana you are young so this oversight can be forgiven, but as you age PHYSICAL EXERCISE becomes super important.
To repairs, I would add maintenance of what you have: washing machine or dishwasher ... require monthly maintenance by example.

It was not boring at 2x speed. Thank you

Instead of just identifying issues it would be more useful if you offered advice on solving them.
Besides your great message, i love how calm and elegant you are❤
Thank you so much for your content, Mariana!! ❤️❤️
Skill number four will take you places 👌🏽
Our unis dont allow computers but I am a writer and have been since I was 13 so I can type extremely quickly 😂
I hope you’re feeling better now.x
Going to work. That's how far my adulting goes.
Heh heh heh, I clicked to learn and found out I am not adulting as well as I could, lol. 😅 Good to know!

Great video. Thanks a lot
This video is very helpful. Thank you so much💖💕
Thank you so much!
haha love the start! get well soon
I really wanna learn how to drive 🙂
love this video
💌Thank you for your pointers!
i had to look up what touch typing was because i assumed thats how everyone typed lol
me, a 14 year old:
yes this is definitely what i need
Good topics covered!
I think this is like... adulting in a capitalistic society, not so much practical skills or things that are beneficial for the self
Isn’t touch typing an elementary skill? I learned that in 1st grade

Point 4 is impossible for me!! I don't know what to say to people....I say something and they get offended.
Hi, do you have a Playlist going into detail with each topic and how tos?
When you first mentioned politics I thought of politics in work place 😂
would be good to mention personal hygiene, particularly for women!
Was that in the clay pot feijoada?

Skill #4 is tough for me 🤣
What website do you recommend to improve typing skill?
Hmmm, as someone who's going to live a solitary and peaceful life somewhere remote, I don't have to learn some of these skills :D
