“Times have changed”

“I used to think at the age of 25 I’d be living in a big house with a big yard, a family of 4 and a successful high paying job. But as time has passed I realise that it won’t happen and I’m totally okay with that. It will come one day but it doesn’t have to be at a specific age. Times have changed.” (21, Sydney)

This submission from our Instagram got us thinking that as millennials, we are living a different timeline to that of older generations.  It is time to redefine our timelines and break societal stigma’s surrounding age. There is no timeline for adulthood- and this is totally okay!

Millennials are moving out of home later, we are getting married later or might not be getting married at all. We focus on our careers and delay having kids. There is nothing wrong with this. We are doing things in our own time. We don’t have to be doing anything at any given time. We have our lives to live and can reach milestones at whatever age and stage we choose.
