I followed the tutorial so 18-25 was easy mode. 26-35 was a blur mostly making money for other people. 36-40 was realizing the tutorial was a goddamn lie, going to therapy, trying to make up for missed experiences, and balancing work with reward. Now in the 41-45 phase and wondering what it will look like when I reflect back on it in a few years.

Well, good news: in the more developed nations (that haven't gone dystopian), work-life balance has a high priority for young people. They learned from their parents' errors.
