Navigating Adulting in Uncertain Times

The concept of 'adulting' is examined as a reflection of the current societal challenges faced by individuals, especially from their 20s to 40s. It encompasses the pursuit of stability through career development, home ownership, and family planning, all of which have become increasingly difficult in the current economic climate. With soaring housing prices and overwhelming student debt, many young adults feel pressure to achieve traditional milestones that seem more elusive than ever. The discussion reveals that while the idea of adulthood has evolved, reflecting different expectations from past generations, the ongoing climate crisis adds another layer of complexity, raising questions about the future and its implications.
