When you stop #adulter and enter adulthood
If you go to the Internet at any time these days, you probably saw the word "adult" go up on your flow several times. It refers to the process of acting as an adult - having a job, paying for your bills and to go to dinner instead of simply ordering to take away - and has won a lot of traction between the millennia in recent years, probably because They are probably more likely toAlways live with their parents and actively avoid marriage that previous generations were at their age.
The term has therefore opened a discussion in recent years on what "being an adult" really means, especially since psychologists have added "emerging adulthood" to the list of phases of life to describe people In the twenties who feel no more teenagers but are not yet "adults" again either.

"It's a much more nuanced transition that takes place over three decades."
Jones admits that the age to which someone becomes an "adult" is different for everyone, but indicates that it would be inaccurate to call someone in the twenty of an adult because they still cross a lot of brain development. "There is no childhood and then an adult life. People are on a path, they are on a trajectory," he said.

"[I'll feel like an adult] When I can afford to live on an island and I have a private jet and go on vacation," said Fiona, 26, maybe the bar a little too high.
