^it is. You just have to implement the things he suggested and not just let it end once you close the book.

Marriage/kids will get you stuck. Literally. People don't realize how ,limited their options become when they enter into these situations (especially the one with kids).
Don't buy into the marriage and kids are a beautiful thing fantasy. Marriage and kids can be a good thing but everything has its place and time.
With that being said, I think that many people take the wrong approach to work/ life in general. Nobody likes to work. Even if your occupation is somethign that you enjoy it is still a grind a vast majority of the time. This goes for any occupation. Even for the pro athletes, pornstars, traders, venture capitalists, etc. Yes even the pornstars.
The point is that you have to have a purpose to what you're doing. Work is only a means to and end and it doesn't matter how $#+#+%/ uncomfortable it is as long as it is serving a purpose in helping you reach the final destination. I work 70-80 hour weeks and it is a grind most of the time even though I enjoy what I do (for the most part). I do the best work that I can and work hard but that's only because the paycheck will (hopefully) help me get to where I want to be.
I love the outdoors and I hate the city. My goal is to buy a ranch/ large plot of land somewhere in the Midwest near some woods and a lake. Hopefully, I can keep my expenses low and retire early from my actual profession. At that point I'd prob just find a not too stressful relatively low paying job that will help to pay for the day to day living and the intermittent "wants". of course life is unpredictable and things do change from month to month let alone from year to year but at this point that is my goal and work is just a means to an end.
Marriage/kids will $!%* up your plans and limit your options. Especially kids.I can't stress that enough.
Also, enjoy the little day to to day things in life. If you don't, you'll be miserable.
