Whether your believe it or not, you're clearly functioning as an adult already. You've got the basics down, but now you need to prepare yourself for some of the tough things that are coming (like the death of a parent, health problems, mid-life crisis, etc.) In my experience, many people become old and embittered through these experiences. For me, the toughest problems were really coming to terms with my own mortality and reaching a point in my career where I can't reasonably expect to accomplish more in the way of fame, fortune, or position.
My only advice is to focus on trying new things on a regular basis- don't get stuck in a rut. My goal for the second half of my life is to keep learning new things every year.
