[quote=Anonymous]I think you can move the goalposts a bit and still come out happy:

- Married or met spouse by 30
Yes. Combination luck and not having super-high standards, I suppose. :)

- Made $150K or more by 30
Still not making that at 45, but don't feel like I need it, especially with a two-income household and DH's side hustle.

- Owned SFH by 35
Yes, but we rented cheaply for a long time, so saved up for a 20% downpayment. But also true that DH's parents helped a bit.

- Graduated with zero or manageable debt
Yes, but that's luck: low-income parents and good grades. Paid off my college loans in five years with a side project I got through work.

- Remained thin and healthy throughout
I've never been DCUM thin but have remained in good health/exercise regularly, so happy with my body the way it is. My advice here: as long as you're not already struggling with weight, avoid dieting. It messes up your hunger cues and then you're relying on self-control, which most people don't have.

- Continued with hobbies or activities or travel to make a fulfilling life.
This has varied over the years but overall I would say yes. Attribute this to having a supportive/capable spouse and luck with having healthy children.
