I often used my sources here to outline both what an emerging adult is, and the struggles that they have to go through. Using the essays it was easy to portray a picture of the struggles young adults face in the modern economy, especially monetarily. I thought my best example of this was in outlining how busy they were “to think about all the things I’m supposed to be doing in order to ‘get somewhere’ successful: ‘Follow your passions, live your dreams, take risks, network with the right people, find mentors, be financially responsible, volunteer, work, think about or go to grad school, fall in love, and maintain personal well-being, mental health and nutrition.’ When is there time to just be and enjoy?”(206). Twenty-somethings would be able to take the time and figure all of these things out at their own pace, allowing them to be much more financially stable in the long run.” I thought that this was my best example due to how I was able to connect the lack of time to how emerging adulthood would allow for these people to have much more time to make good investments and prepare for their life.
