Seems like good stages. When I wrote the original note I was thinking of some people in their 50's and 60's I work with (same position). New cars, boats, gadgets, always broke. Always complaining about having to work so much, not being with their grandchildren, broken bodies, etc. Snide remarks about me rarely being there, picking up extra shifts, and "must be nice to not need money." Shit like that, as if I didnt intentionally build the life I want. They are hustling all the time and yet I'm farther ahead. That indicates a broken situation to me lol

For reference, I'm 31. Get treated like a dumb kid a lot yet...

They did say in the video most men get stuck in stage 2.
