I Cope Through Humor, So Here's 24 Jokes About How Hard Being An Adult Is Right Now

    "I hate when kids scream in public...you don't have real problems. It should be me screaming. ME."

    If we're being honest, adulthood kind of sucks right now. Rent is astronomical, we have to sacrifice visiting friends because gas is too high, buying a home feels impossible, inflation has our grocery bills rising while shrinkflation has our pantries dwindling — it's all a bit overwhelming.

    So instead of crying, let's all cope together with jokes and a few wayyyy too relatable tweets that encompass exactly how we're all feeling:

    And if you love a tweet you read, be sure to give your favorite users a like and a follow.
