So, this is the age you’re most likely to have a quarter-life crisis

Nov 15, 2017

Your work life is leaving you less than satisfied, the hangovers are getting worse by the weekend, and those plans you had to travel the world and 'find yourself' have pretty much gone out the window – in other words, you're going through a quarter-life crisis.

For years the concept of a 'life-crisis' was closely associated with 40-something-year-old men and the impulsive purchasing of over-priced sports cars, but these days it's the millennials of the world that can't quite come to terms with all of life's little decisions.

Just ask anyone between the ages of 20 -29. Trust us, no one really knows what they're doing.

According to a new study by LinkedIn, 72 per cent of young professionals will experience a quarter-life crisis just shy of their 27^th birthday (26.9-years-old to be exact).

And it seems it all comes down to three major worries.

Lack of job satisfaction (57 per cent)
Inability to get in the property ladder (57 per cent)
The pressure to find a life partner (46 per cent)

Clinical psychologist Dr Alex Fowke, says: “Nowadays, twenty-somethings are under intense pressure to get themselves onto the housing market, navigate the increasingly complex professional landscape, struggle to maintain relationships and are commonly subjected to a distorted notion of life through social media.”
