Grown up points

Went to see a comedy performance a couple of weeks ago. The person introduced the idea of working out how many grown up points you have - e.g. living in your own flat and paying bills by direct debit = grown up points, awarding yourself grown up points = no grown up points! The thing is, I kind of do that too, and I don't come out of it very well... A few months ago I went to an interview and the person showing me round was asking how easy it would be for me to relocate. She didn't call them that, but really she was asking about my grown up point score. The conversation went something like this:

So, do you have children?
No...
A partner?
No...
Mortgage/property?
No...
How about your job?
I'm a full-time student, it'll finish in a few months...
Car?
No, I don't drive...
[The poor woman was looking desperate by now...]
Pets?
Errr, no..... but I do have some houseplants!!
