    I feel like 35 is too young to have completed 51/66 tasks in the life checklist. I’m too young for a midlife crisis (fingers crossed, anyways)!

      Yeah, I feel like it’s heavily skewed towards the beginning of life, but tbf I feel like the cool things you do later in life are harder to quantify? Could add things like:

      • I’m trying to think of how to quantify a “Have 0 debt” option but like, post mortgage or something.
      • Establish a friend group
      • Hang out with at least one member of that friend group for 5 / 10 / 15 years
      • Go to an interesting location as part of your job (conventions count)
      • See a historical human-made artifact in person
      • See a legitimate dinosaur bone in person (not cast)
      • Visit your country’s capital
      • Create a piece of art and enter it into something that has it be viewed by people outside your family / friends

        56/74, little better now.

        The have 0 debt one in your context would be like “pay off your mortgage” or for mortgage+ “pay off your mortgage early”.

        Maybe a “get sued for ethical reasons and win” (refused to allow a small business to defraud me, they tried to sue me and then backed off when they read my defense).

        Have a humbling experience with a stranger.

      • The list also assumes that you’ll have children which isn’t really on the cards for some people (voluntary or involuntary) and cuts out the possibility of doing a huge chunk of that list.
