 acquiring many things in life, and they do not have the financial

On the other hand
, adults tend to be more satisfied because they have the financial

 to choose what they like. Compared to children, adults do not need to ask permission from anyone on where to spend their money, and can buy things that comfort them.
For instance

that is
 why adulthood is better because it offers financial
