AHHHHHHHH! SEVERAL SECTIONS OF THIS ARTICLE ACCURATELY SUMMARIZE ME!

But more elements directly pigeonhole Oliver, so that makes me feel better.

Some key passages:
Boomer and post-boom parents with more money and autonomy than their predecessors has resulted in benignly self-indulgent children who were sold on their own uniqueness, place in the world and right to fulfillment in a way no previous generation has felt entitled to, and an increasingly entrepreneurial, self-driven creation myth based on personal branding, social networking and untethered lifestyle spending is now responsible for our identities.

The Quarterlife Crisis remains largely a middle-class, Stuff White People Like kind of problem, and usually manifests itself where certain problematic social norms used to exist, like who had access to education and interesting work, and who was allowed adventure and self-determination.

Having so much — youth, ability, independence — can feel like the worst possible scenario.

I wasn't spoiled as a child, and I'm not headed back to graduate school, and I'm not in debt, but I do identify with parts of this. And more than the specifics, I identify with the general theme of the article. I need boundaries -- feel free to suggest some.

Could be worse though.
