Adulting -How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps
Kelly Williams Brown

Maintenance, the forbidden word in my books. There is something so painful about putting money or time towards boring things like oil changes, new tires or even the act of hanging your clothes. I mean sure, I get the car one. I depend on Old Betty to get me from point A to point B. So reading this chapter was like my family and friends gathering around for an intervention to tell me I suck and need help with life. Putting maintenance towards all the basic things that need it can suck, but lead to non-exploding cars and bigger bills in the future. 

This doesn't mean just towards your piece of junk of a car, there is also pets and your personal health. Looking for those signs as soon as possible and getting help right away so this doesn't lead to a large chunk of change later when your simple cold turns into some rare foreign disease. When you could have simply gone to a doctor for a check up. Yet I am one of those people that will put off check ups and oil changes until something bad happens. 

Recently adopted a pup, and I knew the cost were going to be expensive, but puppy? I like the idea of putting a $100 in an envelope and putting it aside for an emergency (predicting a really nice pair of shoes eaten and will need a vet,) this way it helps for that vet bill in the future. They need so many check ups and hardy bags of dog chow. Otherwise I expect the out come of this to not be too painful. 

I have neglected to mention the discussion questions at the end of the chapters, here's one from maintenance:
Why are healthy things so boring? Why are comfy shoes so ugly? What is the meaning of all this? 
My answer, because life is cruel and heartless. I'd give anything for a pair of comfy shoes that would not be an embarrassment.
