Six in 10 millennials claim to be suffering from a “quarter-life crisis”, according to a study.

Research among 2,000 Britons aged 25 to 35 found more than half are struggling to cope amid financial, career and personal pressures.

The study shows 53 per cent of young adults are finding it difficult to make ends meet, and trying to find a job has stressed out another 23 per cent.

Their current living situation has led to feelings of despair for one third, while 28 per cent are struggling with a job they find challenging.

The study was carried out by First Direct bank, with psychologist, Dr Oliver Robinson, who said: “There’s two sides to a quarter-life crisis.

“They’re often feared as periods of difficulty and distress, but in my experience they can also be times of openness, curiosity and growth.”
