Season 4, Ep. 20: FAD #20 — The Responsibility of Being a Responsible Adult

Being an adult is the pits — and being a responsible one takes a lot out of you. Unfortunately, there isn't any training to teach you and Afiya is really digging her heels in the sand about it. In this episode of "Adult-ish Presents: Fifi After Dark," our host Afiya has a solo conversation on the pitfalls of not being taught how to be a responsible adult, and how it's a MAJOR responsibility to be responsible.In recounting how she's been living it all by herself, the podcast host talks about the need for everyone to be as self-sufficient as they can be and how people can be suckered into losing money and their lives by not being knowledgeable of how to take care of themselves and their surroundings. From her desire to bring back Home Economics so we can learn how to cook, to how she wishes she knew more about cars to not be railroaded by shoddy mechanics, she chats on the importance of being a well-rounded adult — and how we should be passing this on to the next generation. It's hard being an adult, and being a responsible one takes a lot of work that, unfortunately, we must do on our own. Be sure to take a listen!
