Between managing bills, chasing promotions, and remembering to drink your 8 glasses of water daily—if only kopi counted — it often feels like we are trying to survive one responsibility at a time.
However, adulting is not only about the significant milestones, like getting a BTO or buying your first car. It is also about the small, everyday wins that make you go, “dang, I really have my life together today.”
So, let us celebrate those little victories that deserve more credit than they get.
1. Paying Bills on Time (and Still Having Money Left Over)
That feeling when you paid your utilities, Netflix, and Music streaming platforms before the reminder hits? Elite adulting status achieved. It is the kind of quiet victory that deserves a pat on the back and staying on top of things without feeling the pinch.
With redONE Mobile’s affordable plans—starting at just $10.90/month—staying connected does not have to mean stretching your wallet. The reliable coverage, generous data, and even free roaming to nearby countries mean you are getting the real value every month.
2. Saying “No” to Online Shopping Temptations
App opened. Item added to cart… and then closed it. That is main character development energy right there. Adulting means learning to prioritise—like choosing savings over sales. And maybe that extra cash can go towards something more useful or something that adds value to your life. But of course, still letting yourself indulge in something once in a while because hey, you earned it!
3. Bringing Lunch to Work (Even Just Once a Week)
It may not be a Michelin-star meal, but the $8 you saved by not buying another bowl of rice can go towards your phone bill, transport, or your next bubble tea run. Perhaps it can also help you start living a healthier lifestyle.
Adulting is a balancing act—knowing when to splurge and when to save smart. Small habits like these remind us that adulting is not about being perfect, but about taking small steps towards a bigger goal.
4. Clearing Out the Clutter – Both Physically and Digitally
There is something oddly satisfying about tackling that pile of old receipts in your wallet, unused skincare, or the random pile of cables you have been keeping “just in case”.
But decluttering is not just about your room, but also about your digital space. Unsubscribing from spam emails, deleting old screenshots, and leaving long-dead group chats. That is the modern-day self-care. A cleaner, more straightforward setup (both on your phone and in your life) makes everything run more smoothly.
5. Finding the Little Ways to Save Without Cutting Corners
There is no bigger adulting flex than being smart with your money (especially when you save that couple of cents from cashbacks). Whether it is choosing to use reusable coffee cups or switching to a SIM-only plan that gives you more for less, it is all about efficiency.
With redONE Mobile’s BEST plans, you get massive data bundles, free roaming to your favourite countries, and reliable nationwide coverage – all while keeping your monthly bill low.
Celebrating the Small Wins
You do not need a huge promotion or a new house key to feel accomplished. Sometimes, it is the small wins—like sticking to your budget or staying connected affordably—that make all the difference.
Go ahead and reward yourself with that bubble tea or a good nap, you earned it!
