Homie, I couldn't even afford the life milestones building up to the midlife crisis, let alone the midlife crisis itself. Lmao

20 years ago: I'll buy a Ferrari!

Today: I guess I could add an ice cream to the groceries if I forego breakfast cereal for a week

Look at this person eating breakfast. I remember when I could afford that.... hahahah....oh

Isn't this community meant to post satire? This article seems 100% accurate to me.

Anyone else concerned about the implication of having a midlife crisis at 30?

If we manage to live past 60 we'll starve and freeze because we'll be well out of money at that point. 30 is the actually a little late for midlife.

Yes I'm concerned the millennial in question is having their breakdown well after midlife.
