It only includes the 'traditional' milestones. And even at that, it's missing some, like kids going to college, kids graduating college, kids getting married, first grandkids, etc. But ignoring that, there are lots of other milestones. Like starting your first company. Your first IPO. Your first million. I know you passed all of those long ago, but there are plenty of other things to look forward to, like first billion, your first (decent-sized) island, running your first double marathon, first time to run with the bulls (4 legged or 4 wheeled), doing Paris-Dakkar, starring in your first broadway musical, first time to unicycle around the world, winning an alphorn contest, etc. Trust me, there are *lots* of things to do!

All my 'real jobs' have been internships so far. I manage my restaurant now but I still don't think that's a real job. I think this is a bunch of hooey. I can think of many other milestones for everyone. And I'm sure there are a few that people think of that are personally theirs. First time I started a wave of over 50,000 people. First time I was almost arrested for civil disobedience.
