Adulting is tough. Being the grown-up in the room could be arduous - from bills, complicated family schedules, to dinner every.single.night. We face a growing mountain of responsibilities as young adults that until now is "uncharted territory."

There are also some steps you should take and commodities to invest in that would save you a lot of trouble when you are left to navigate the wilderness of independent living.

Hence, we have listed five things you need to buy to get through #adulting.

1. A pumice stone to remove gross, hard-water stains such as calcium, lime without hurting your toilet bowl or sink (super important if you're a renter).

This kit is the perfect choice to fulfill your all-purpose projects, repairs, and support at home, garage, office, shop, or dormitory, regardless if you are a homeowner, a business owner, a college student, or a DIYer. The best part is the variety of tools they throw into a small case. It's excellent to tighten odd screws, install small items, or tap loose items back into place rather than having to wait for building maintenance or IT guy to show up.

Takeaway

"Adulting" doesn't really mean that you are capable of handling everything on your own all the time - which is quite contrary to popular belief. Adulting would suggest that you need to know when to accept help from people or from a few original items every adulting person needs. Purchasing the products listed above would definitely cover almost all the stuff you need.
