THIS IS HOW I KNOW I'M GETTING OLD! 

You know you're grown when you get happy about cleaning supplies and household appliances

I knew I was "grown" when I asked my "grown grown" mama where she was going and she actually told me. She didnt hit me, didnt cuss me out, but actually told me. 🤣🤣

When almost every new movie you see is a remake of something you saw 20 years ago...

When my crockpots were no longer just "decorations".

It wasn't a purchase but I felt i was grown on September 22,2019 when I paid off my student loans.

1. Instead of splurging with my bonus and tax money I actually paid off my loans. 2. I check my credit score monthly. 3. I rather bake chicken instead of frying it! 🤯😲

Using my stimulus check to pay down these credit cards and watch my credit score go up. Now, im grown-grown 🙌🏽🙌🏽

When you buy shoes for comfort and not style 😊

When I had to turn the radio off because I was lost. “I can’t think wit all dat noise”!

When I had to cut the radio off because it was just noise and kids these days don't know what good music is.......I am 39!!!!

Big grown moments: 1. Going to the dealer alone and buying my car after researching for 3 months 2. Paying all my bills ON TIME 3. Paying cash or not gettin' it AT ALL! GROWN! 🙋🏾‍♀️

Being sleepy at 9, loving the peacefulness of silence, a cast iron skillet, looking for great recipes, and only desiring to have deep, rich conversations.

I knew I was “Grown” when I closed on my own house 🏡 I felt so responsible, proud, and Grown #MovingOnUp

I overheard my daughter say to her college friends (who were saying they were grown) that “you aren’t an adult until you’re paying for your own healthcare.” 🤓

I knew I was grown when I started caring about paying the bills on time.. then having the money available to pay the bills

I knew I was grown when I was humming and had the "after glow" from having clean floors, clean bathroom, clean sheets, empty laundry baskets and a sleeping child...all at the same time!

When you become everybody's auntie.

I’m grown... seasoning my cast iron skillet is a thing 😂

I found I was grown when I suggested to my husband that we should start growing our own vegetables and herbs because they cost too much at the grocery store. Girl........ now we have a plethora (grown word!!!) of FREE veggies and herbs now! They turned out great plus our grown ass save lots of money! So to really say what purchase made me know I was grown was seeds and planters 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'm GROWN because I paid off my 3rd property and have rented both of them out. And paid my daughter's tuition off for this,year in it's entirety. 💥 💥 💥 Boom.

I knew I was getting old when I’m out someplace and I start getting anxious because it’s after 9 and I’m not home.

I knew I was grown when I started collecting seasonings. I used to only have six seasonings but the older I've gotten now I have about 40

Knew I was grown-grown when I spent my stimulus $ on--not clothes, not shoes, not a vacation BUT on a new water heater! That right there's grown!

I'm blessed, my car is paid off, my only debt is my student loans and I'm shimmying into my 30's grroooowwnnnnn! 💃💃💃💃🤣🤣😂😂🤣

When taking out the trash, some "hard rock skater punk"- looking boys (that I didn't know) jogged over and said, "ma'am, may I help you with that?"... Or that fact that I answered, "well aren't you a sweet young man," and handed him $2. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I was 35 at the time. He looked about 17.

When I was about 27 and called my mom to apologize for being hardheaded growing up. I was now a mom and understood everything she was saying back then.

I felt really grown when I could call my parents just to say "hi" instead of calling because I needed something.

When my Dad asked me to drive him home from a medical procedure. If my Dad felt like he could let me take care of him for once instead of him always looking out for me, the Baby Girl, I knew I was grown.

I realized I was grown when I got a dining room "SET". I mean, I'm talking about a table with a pullout leaf in the middle and 6 matching chairs. With the Hutch to match...🤣🤣🤣

My first “grown” purchase was my mattress. Like I full on went mattress shopping, got a line of credit at a furniture store and purchased a mattress. And had it delivered instead of just trying to strap it to my car and pray.

Omg I'm 34 and wearing a duster around the house as I'm watching this 🤣

How I knew I was getting older is when my friends and I can talk on the phone for hours about home remedies for aches and pains, doctor's appts and prescriptions.

The moment I walked into a car dealership, with financing already in place, and negotiated the deal I wanted (and was prepared to walk if they didn't give it to me) I felt real grown

I felt grown when I stopped needing to Be something or look like someone for anybody. I just genuinely don't care anymore & it's great.

Whenever I go out with my Mother and I always pay for whatever we do. The look on her face cause she doesn’t worry about funds when we go out.

I became grown when my name was on EVERTHUNG!!!!!

I stay in my emails!!! The truth is in them emails baby!!!!

When you love buying towels and comforters, and curtains and such and you put your new stuff up and look around and feel accomplished and happy, yea you grown.

My very first “grown” realization came when I didn’t transfer the money from my savings back to my checking just a couple of days after payday. LMAO! It’s so elementary but I swear, if I put it in on the 5th, by the 7th I legit needed it. NOT NO MORE! Savings just stacking! EBOSHALA!! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

The morning I woke up and my feet hurt for no damn reason. At that moment understood every long speech my father ever gave me.

“cuz who finna be musty??? not me.” 🤣🤣🤣

We are aging daily, but Im glad that Ive grown wiser over the years. When I paid off my first car, I knew that I was on another level. It feels great to complete something.

I got my "I am grown" certificate when I moved 2k miles away from my family to a whole other country by myself!!

I knew I was grown when I would wake up extra early on pay days to see how much money I was paid , calculate all my bills , pay said bills and be done and have money moved from my checking into savings all before it was 7:30am the same morning. After seeing that all my bills were paid and that what was left in my checking ACC was my float or " miscelaneous" fund id be happy and go back to sleep lol . #GrownAssMan

I’m 42 my grandma ask me if I wanted boots for Christmas, she bought them for all her granddaughters.... I asked for a kitchen aid or aprons whichever one is is in the budget! She cracked up!

I no longer use tea bags I use lose leaf teas and purchased a tea strainer. I purchase bedding sets and pillows. Like I'm legit trying to decorate my room. Once upon a time I didn't care about these things then one day boom. My mind was like ok I need to create some Feng shui in my room and bathroom🤔🤔🤔🤔

Whenever I need a new household appliance and I “research” the specs on different brands and read the reviews before buying it- that’s how I knew I was grown! When you’re young you just pick up the first thing or the cheapest thing you see and don’t give it a second thought.

When I buy airline tickets for a quick getaway. When that plane takes off I feel like "Humph, I can go anywhere I want!"

I felt grown when I purchased internet and cable for the household and started buying household items. I knew I was grown when I ran all my errands on one side of town b/c I'm not coming back and forth. Also, I considered myself grown when I done everything while I was out b/c once I came home I stayed inside the house.

When my friends and I started talking about how we could get the best interest rates!

I’m grown because I contribute to my 403B. I’m grown because I turned 5 outfits into my weekly “uniform” for work😂😂

Forget the purchases lady....When “turn those light OFFFFF”, becomes what you say and not what you hear 😳 your not only officially grown, your officially your mama. 💜your channel EJ...everyone stay blessed and safe🙏🏾.

I knew I was grown when my mom came to visit me and left my bathroom light on, and I asked her to cut it off cause she doesn't pay any bills in this house lol

When I bought a "pack" of granny panties instead of a bunch of the cute, & sexy singles.😔

Woo hoo! Gone guh! My grown moment was not needing a co-signer for a car

CONGRATULATIONS on the hundred thousand...you deserve it...you are HI LARIOUS...

You know you are grown when garden supplies are exciting! :)

I knew I was grown when I looked at my carpet one day and said “ it makes no sense for me to keep paying people to clean this” and went and bought my own machine. That’s so like my mama!

I’m grown because I got excited about getting the good “more expensive” vacuum for Mother’s Day as a gift 🎁

The good windshield wipers... I spent real money and installed them myself

I knew or at least felt grown when I purchased a tool set. I'm talking about a "complete" tool set with the matching bag! Because I'm fixing things around the house B4 it breaks or in need of repair. GROWN woman goals Lol Ej, your channel gives me life gurl!!

😂"it's time to put me in charge of some dressing for Thanksgiving "😂 I'm not ready for the responsibility!!😂

I know I’m getting old because I went back to bar soap!

My purchase: the roasting pan with the cover (either dark blue or black. The one you mama makes the dressing in). Yep, she grown 🙋🏾‍♀️

I knew I was grown when my Apple tv outsmarted me and a grandkid set that thing up in 5 minutes with a smirk and an eye roll. Didn’t slap his head but thanked him...🤣🤣

Everyone in my house drink coffee, but I got an espresso machine. I like to step up my caffeine game. In couple of months my baby will be starting her 12 year

My purchase was some hedge clippers and a hose pipe. The fact that I called it a hose pipe and not a water hose says it all... Wait...the hell?? I intentionally went to Lowes to buy these items. Not shoes, earrings, or a pizza. I bought freaking hedge clippers and a hose, on purpose. That's a real grown purchase 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Congratulations!! I bought 3 caftans to wear around the house, to let it breathe. I knew I was grown when I went to RU-vid for diy projects and recipes instead of hair and makeup LOL!!!

I knew I was grown when I researched vacuums for days comparing the specs and prices and was so excited for it to arrive. I had to stop and ask myself "am I really getting excited about a VACUUM CLEANER?"

Getting excited about buying a vacuum and buying the perfect one for my house made me feel grown.

I’m old too 😭😭😭 I bought comfortable sandals

Buying my first washer and dryer....and being way too excited when it got delivered!

Deciding that I needed flower pots for the front of my house made me feel grown. I remember being a little kid going from nursery to nursery with my aunt and grandmother all summer long.

Glad to see you're growing up. Now here's a head up, when you're "good and grown" you will find yourself saying, "Back in the day, I remember when and we use to." Now old is when it turns into, "Back N da day, I member when we useta." I would tell my father when he was in his 90's, "Useta gone, been gone for years now, he got shot." Because none of those thing he was remembering were even around any more ... But enjoy your years and may you reach archival super senior ✌️

I was grown when.... I paid off my first student loan.

When I look at something and go “I can get it at Walmart for that!” Even when I’m not spending my own money.

When you get a Thanksgiving dish and it has ingredients! That’s when you’re grown.

It was that mortgage for me, definitely felt growner than I wanted to
