WHAT DOES SUCCESS REALLY LOOK LIKE IN 2016?
This week I’ve been thinking a lot about work. Not only because I’ve barely gone half an hour in the past month without hearing Rihanna sing it, but also because I find it really interesting – and apparently it’s something we’re all stressing about. One of the ‘markers of adulthood’ is ‘working in a full-time, permanent job’ – but it seems that fixed term contracts (among other things) are making this unrealistic for the mid-twenties masses.
Understandably, this is a stressful situation. Recently I wrote about the worry of realising we’re not going to have any money when we retire. It seems like life has sped on by and at the age when we’re ‘supposed to’ be getting married and buying houses and having babies, instead our rag tag millennial gang is being crippled by extortionate rents on shared houses, job insecurity and a feeling of what I like to call ‘generalised life angst’.
