But You're Still So Young by Kayleen Schaefer

But You're Still So Young by Kayleen Schaefer

Sociologists have identified the five markers of adulthood as: finishing school, leaving home, marriage, gaining financial independence, and having kids. But repeated economic upheaval, rising debt, decreasing marriage rates, fertility treatments, and a more open-minded society have all led to a shifting timeline today. So why are we measuring 'adulthood' by the same metrics that were relied upon fifty years ago? The thirtysomethings in this book envisioned their thirties differently than how they are actually living them. And as Schaefer and her sources show, not being able to do everything isn't a sign of a life gone wrong.

Kayleen Schaefer is a journalist and the author of the bestselling memoir Fade Out, which was released as a Kindle Single. Her writing has appeared in numerous publications, including The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Vogue, and others. Her debut book, Text Me When You Come Home, was written while she was living in New York City.
