This saying is a classic piece of humorous, often cynical, Australian wisdom that expresses a common sentiment of regret and the perceived unfairness of adult life's responsibilities.
Overall Meaning:
The phrase is a lighthearted, yet often genuine, expression of:
-
Nostalgia for childhood simplicity: A longing for a time when life's biggest concerns were play and school, not financial stability or career demands.
-
The shock of adult responsibility: A humorous acknowledgement of how overwhelming and demanding adult life can feel, especially compared to childhood.
-
A wish for a "head start": If only one had known how tough it would be, they would have started preparing much earlier to alleviate the current struggles.
It's a relatable sentiment for many adults who feel the weight of their obligations and jokingly wish they could have somehow fast-tracked their way to financial security before the pressures of grown-up life fully kicked in. It's often said with a wry smile and a shake of the head.
