Sorry, I'm A Stanger Here Myself

When I was a kid I used to wonder what it was like to go into a pub and order a drink. And I used to worry that, when my time came, I'd do it wrong and be found out

I've always felt like I was bluffing my way through life. Like I'd missed out on some absolutely vital briefing session.

Keep your head down, imitate the natives, don't do anything to give yourself away.

A friend and I, each in our 40s, both bought large appliances a short period apart. We were delighted to find we both thought to ourselves while doing so, "Wow, I feel like a grownup."

I'm planning on buying a used car this year. My sixth and the first without an experienced car buyer by my side. I don't think that ties directly into this theme, though, but rather speaks to insecurity about inexperience.

I bought my first house at 35.

Me a house-holder? Wheeee!
