Stages of adulthood

I had to chuckle at a comment by James Lileks (National Review writer). He wrote this in an article poking fun at the observation today that people in their 20's are taking longer to grow up (i.e. government taking care of you, parents acting like friends with money instead of parents, etc).

What are the 5 stages of adulthood:
  1. Finishing up school
  2. Not sponging off the parents
  3. Getting a job
  4. Swapping rings with someone who will put up with you
  5. Turning out replacement units

I have completed the 5 stages so i guess i am entering my mid-life crisis :)
