Whether it’s making your bed straight after rolling out of it in the morning, washing your pots instead of letting them pile up, or swapping crazy nights out for quiet nights in, there’s few moments in life that are more humbling than realising you’ve reached peak adulthood.

It might sound lame, but let’s be honest - we all secretly know the feeling of fresh bedding and an early night with a new binge-watch beats clubbing and a hangover hands down, any day of the week.

We’re not saying adult life is easy by any means - it can be bloody exhausting - but the HMRC app has entered the chat to help you manage your money and tax easily, adding even more little adulting wins to your ever-growing list of hacking being a grown-up. When you’re on it, you’re on it, and it’s easier than you’d think to keep on top of your finances like a pro.

We’ve explored the oddly satisfying things that mean you’ve reached peak adulthood. Here are our top five ways to ‘adult’ like a pro.

Buying a new toothpaste before the current one runs out

We’ve all been there. Bleary-eyed, first thing in the morning, having to cut the tube in half and scrape around inside for the last, dried-up scraps of toothpaste. If you’ve had garlic bread the night before, you’ve no chance of freshening your breath with those miniscule remnants. Buying a fresh tube of toothpaste before you’ve run out, or even better, buying in bulk...now that’s top tier adulting.

Meal prepping for the week ahead

It might be dull, it might be tedious, but meal prepping for the week ahead is a great way to save money on eating out whilst hitting those protein goals at the same time. Perhaps you’ve made the ultimate adulting move and upgraded your plastic tupperware to a stylish matching pyrex set, or maybe you’ve upcycled those takeaway containers and given them a new lease of life - either way, you’re an adulting boss if you do this.

Using loyalty cards to save cash on your shopping

If you do happen to forget your lovely prepped meals on the way to work (hey, we’ve all been there), using a loyalty card to make your meal deal cheaper is still a great adulting win. In the times of the ‘cozzy livs’, a few pence off your shopping goes a long way. 50p of fresh fruit? Go on then. 20% off cat food? It’d be rude not to. Clip them on your keys and don’t forget to scan them at checkout - oh yes, we’ll have all the clubcards here.

Doing your laundry from start to finish

Ok, so you got a new apartment and you’re starting to get your life together. Now do your laundry. We’re not talking about putting your clothes in the washer and forgetting about them for weeks, or doing the ‘just one more spin cycle’ trick when you’re feeling too lazy to hang, fold, and put them away. If you’re able to complete your laundry without any hold-ups (and iron it for bonus points), you deserve a pat on the back, you big adulting legend.

Downloading the HMRC app to be ‘on it’ with your money and tax stuff

And finally, probably the biggest adulting move of them all… Managing your money and tax with the HMRC app. Get on it and you can easily keep an eye on important things like viewing your tax code, checking your National Insurance number, claiming a tax refund and more – which is boss-level adulting if we do say so ourselves.

It’s so simple you’ll have any money and tax stuff sorted in a jiffy, so you can get back to buying wax melts or collecting mugs (or whatever else us adults like doing).

Download the HMRC app today to reach peak adulting and absolutely boss this whole ‘grown-up’ thing.
