      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.
