The Definition of a Lifestage is a stage of the life cycle of an organism or species, or (more generally) of the life of a person. (Lexico.com)

Life Stages have changed in the last few years

There used to be a world where one would graduate from college in her early 20’s, find a career, get married, and have children.

There was an expectation that this would happen somewhere around age 25 and those who were really pushing it might wait until 30.

As a woman hit the old maid age of 35, hope would start to die on the vine because biological clocks began to tick louder and louder and what once seemed like an inevitable part of life (marriage and family) now becomes a possibility or an option.

It is generally accepted that in the Twenty-First century adolescence doesn’t end at 18 and the markers of adulthood are changing.

During the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic and subsequent economic fallout saw many Young Adults move back home with their parents.

The coronavirus outbreak has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading early this year, surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era.
