Millennials have been sharing what their midlife crisis looks like – 17 ways young adults are struggling with getting old

‘Reach 45? I’m almost 46! My “midlife” (technically midlife for American males is almost 35) crisis is the anti-crisis…. I don’t care really what happens to me as long as my kids are ok. I have no desire for that Corvette purchase, divorcing and marrying a younger woman, taking up some crazy hobbies, etc. I just want to be left alone and not fucked with via government or people. Just want an absence of social media and go back 20+ years ago…..’

‘40yo f, I wouldn’t call it a crisis, but I became a gigging musician. I have had some health issues that have made me think harder about what I want my life to look. Playing music while staying on top of my health, my career, family and friends is challenging, but it makes my life so much richer.’
