What are some benefits to becoming an adult?

It’s something I’ve been pondering of late. Not having to support myself (ok, leeching of the parents kind of) is nice. As an adult, one has to worry about money, bills, a job, higher education costs, even food (and more I’m sure). Adulthood is quickly losing any appeal it might have had in my eyes before. Being a “kid” is a sweet deal, and the longer I am exposed to the realities of independent maturity, the more I am reluctant to come to it.

So, what are some bright spots in moving out and becoming an adult? What are some bright spots in the future? I need some fresh perspective to counter my current shadowy conclusions.
