Very true. I was wondering if the upkeep on the Scottish castle would be the same as Vancouver Yearly Property Taxes. :P Probably more. Also, I don't want to even think how expensive it would be to heat a castle in the winter!
I think everyone has a different measure of what adulthood means. It's unique, I guess, to the values and priorities of your family, and also what the rest of your family is doing, etc. It's a really subjective question, I suppose. It also occurs to me that I don't put much effort into working either - like, I need money to live, but I don't have any career aspirations and never have, so to me a career or a job isn't a measure of success or happiness, besides how "stable income" can effect those things.
But then, I return to the idea of how fleeting "stable income" can be, and how circumstance can just take that away from you so easily. And I find I can't stake my adulthood on what I see as a rough shelter that will blow over with the first storm. So, instead I stake it on an ACTUAL shelter LOL. :P

Human minds are ridiculous.
