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
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).
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.
