Bills! Bills! Bills!

The relevance of that title: slim to no relevance at all.

I just thought of it tonight when I was thinking tonight about all the responsibility I'll be taking up in the next few years. I got 3 things in the mail tonight:

#1 - Superannuation Information Pack
#2 - Life Insurance Application Form
#3 - Former Superannuation Exit Notice

From all of that, I spent my evening calling around to all the Super funds I'm with to get details (coz I throw all my statements away y'see) to roll all my super over to my current fund. On top of that, I was pondering about how many standard drinks I have per week (I settled with 4/wk and I already felt like an aloholic - but unfortunately, they told me to tell the truth and I think that's been the truth lately =\) and whether I've got RSI, diabetes, mental disabilities or any muscular conditions for my Life Insurance Application. Gosh.

When I was younger, I used to love getting mail. Now, every envelope addressed to me requires some sort of action - be it a form submission, credit card payments, and these days I feel like I have to understand everything I'm getting into. I've currently got plans to:

* Get my own Medicare Card
* Apply for my own Health Insurance
* Change ownership of my mobile phone account to myself
* Set-up payments for Foxtel out of my account

Might have to amend my answers to my health insurance application after all of this. Too much! Too much!

I'm starting to feel grown-up. It's so strange. They don't lie when they say that responsibility creeps up on you. I was under the impression I was gonna be able to cruise until I'm at least 25. Gotta start learning to look after ourselves now. It's scary.

I just had to let that all out. Back to adulthood =) Bye!
