The stages of life breakdown feels a bit too cookie cutter. Certainly it's a common progression, but it's also possible that choices in your 20s/30s mean that you need to make up for lost career/financial time whilst still maintaining/raising a happy and healthy family. I'm not really criticizing the post/method as it seems like a good thing to do, but cautioning that it may not be easy to just put areas on hold whilst focusing on only a couple of others. EDIT: I do like that in the "fulfilled engineer" radar chart it's not all 10s, but rather 3-5s mostly. There's a tendency in self-help to suggest you can have it all.
