I'm pretty sure I had my mid-life crisis at 25. I let myself get fired from my job. Then I donated everything I owned and lived out of a 34 liter backpack for a few years while I travelled and lived abroad.

My entire life is still a constant crisis but that's just background noise ringing like tinnitus.

I can't help but wonder what it will look like for Millennials. Can't buy a sports car or take a vacation if we have no money.

Maybe we'll really break the bank and rent a TWO bedroom apartment!

The midlife crisis is worse

Meanwhile I'm having a midlife cessation of crisis: exercising every day and eating a lot healthier than before.

I started out at over 350lbs roughly a year ago and have lost over 85 so I figure I'm about halfway there 😁

What, is it going to stop momentarily when you reach mid life?
