Studies have found that alphabet books are helpful and fun tools to promote literacy and teach life lessons to children. But studies also show that kids’ lives are ridiculously easy. They don’t have to pay rent or run errands or wonder whether it’s time to start thinking about freezing their eggs.

Here are twenty-six experiences that define being twenty-six and beyond.
A is for Adulthood, its trials and tribulations…
B is for the Babysitter—whose rates outpace inflation.
C is for Cups covering your nightstand and desk…
D is for the rush you’ll get Depositing mobile checks.
E is for Escaping your home friend’s MLM biz…
F is for FICO score, whatever that is.
G is for Grocery shopping—AGAIN—for moldy berries…
H is for HBO to cure the Sunday scaries.
