Obligatory- this framing of Learn/Earn/Return is a good one, but this application of the model to age cohorts is fantastically unrealistic and outdated. Especially if you have/plan to have kids.
Unless you are exceptionally, unpredictably right place/right time lucky- I cannot emphasize how exceptional and unpredictable this is, and how much it depends on right place/right time and not on any unique attributes you possess- you will need to Earn for all of your adult life.
In order to do so you will also need to Learn for all of your adult life, in cycles that are far, far tighter than 15 years.
And you will benefit from Returning as soon as you are able. Even tracing and documenting your Beginner Mindset journey will be helpful for others.
- sails 6y agoFair point, thank you for adding this. I grabbed the notion from memory, and I don't even know if the source mentions age cohorts. I think it is fair in the context of the OP as a mid 20's developer, but agree wholeheartedly that it doesn't need to be applied with specific ages in mind, but rather more broadly across an adult life.
