Define Fun.
I have my hobbies that enjoy.
I have good friends.
I go out dancing with wife to placate her once a month.
I get by.
Being an adult and thus life, is what you make it. I have an okay life but I still have fun whenever I can.
In truth, I'm happier now than when I was a teen by far.
by the way- I'm a pessimist take what I say lightly

Some times yes, some times no, it is has all to do with the time the question is asked.

That's an odd question. Sure, it's fun being an adult, but I also had fun being a kid, being a teen, and being a college student. Make the most of whatever age you are.
Sometimes I find myself wishing I was a kid again, other times that I was back in college (not hard to do since I work for one). Then i think of the fun things that I have now-my own house, a wife, a little extra money, good friends. Some of those things I only obtained as I've grown older (notice I didn't say grown up), and I lost some fun things I had when I was younger. It's all relative, but I'm happy to be an adult (with a kid inside breaking free fairly often).

There's a big differen't between being an "adult" and being "grown up" - age-wise, I'm an adult, but I am by no means a "grown up" and never plan to be!

Hmm...I sometimes wish I was back in high school. Back in high school, I could succeed and be the best at just about everything, but in college not any more. Then again, as an MIT undergrad, I'm not exactly an adult yet

I've never been happier.
Sure, there are more responsibilities. But there are also much greater freedoms.
When I was a kid I thought that when I grew up I'd be able to get myself all kinds of toys and games my parents wouldn't get me. My mother explained that when I was older, I wouldn't be interested in those things anymore. Mostly, she was wrong about that. I still like the same things today that I did when I was barely in my teens like D&D, miniatures and fantasy toys. I'm a responsible adult but in some ways I retain child-like qualities. The benefits of adulthood with the best of childhood.
Also, as you might expect, I'm taken much more seriously as an adult. Despite my liking for fantasy toys etc, I was always mentally very mature but kids generally aren't taken seriously. Nowadays, my exterior and interior match: I'm treated now as I should have been a long time ago.
