The best definition of a quarter-life crisis is – a period of doubt, anxiety, disappointment, and insecurity surrounding the career, relationships, financial situation, and general direction in a young adult’s life.

A quarter-life crisis is a very common phenomenon, particularly amongst people in their twenties and thirties (millennials and some more and more Genziers) — especially in our busy and rapidly progressing world.
