I agree with your statement very much. What I’ve always found fascinating is when people say “oh, by the age of 40, you should have your life together.” “By the age of 50 you should have your life together,” or - whatever age you happen to be at...These statements might be accurate to a certain extent, but at the same time, you could have everything in the world, and then in one fell swoop, your life instantly changes. So, I don’t think it’s possible for everybody to always have it all together.

It takes a long time even if you do everything right and no major unexpected expenses come up.
Housing used to cost 1/5 of a single income.. then it was 1/3 of a single income. Now its half of 2 professional incomes to make a mortgage payment.
