Quarter life-crises; they’re real. Women in their forties or fifties who are reading this might scoff, but you know you were there too. When you hit your late twenties and early thirties, something shifts. During years 18 to 22, you’re immersed in college, distracted daily by parties and new knowledge and quirky friends. Years 22 to 24-26ish still carry that, “Wooh! I’m a grown up! I pay my bills” euphoria. But shortly after that, you realize your window of time to celebrate those accomplishments has closed, and if you don’t have something else to celebrate then…what do you have? If any of these thoughts are resonating with you, you may be going through your own quarter-life crisis. Here are 20 more signs.

“For sale” signs on houses used to do nothing for you. You felt so far from a time in your life when those signs should mean anything for you. It was all “For rent” for you. Now you’re thinking, “That sign should mean something to me, and it doesn’t, and that’s sad.”
