Experiencing “Milestone Anxiety”? tick, tick…BOOM! is your safe space

Adulting sucks; thank God for tick, tick…BOOM! 

According to ExploringYourMind.com, milestone anxiety is defined as “the psychological pressure that people experience when they perceive that they haven’t yet met many of their expectations and life goals.” Some life milestones include buying a home, getting married, having kids and more. Just last year, UK-based organization Relate discovered that this milestone anxiety is rising among millennials and Gen Z members. The early 30s seem to be a real “crunch point”—by age 30, young adults are expected to have their lives together.

Anxious about turning 30 (or getting older)? Say less.

There’s a musical that says it all—one that was written decades ago, but is still relevant to our milestone anxiety-ridden generation.
