I think "in their remaining tenure" is a key phrase here. For me, 36 now, even owning my own profitable company and making neat software for a living can suffer downward pressure, because I'm starting to deal with feelings that I should be
much further along by now - money wise, job wise, stability wise.
It's very mental - I should be the happiest kid on the block, but this is when you start to look back at time wasted, and wonder if your incredibly lofty goals will ever come to fruition.
Everyone thinks they're meant for greatness - so few reach it, and right around now is when we start admitting to ourselves that we may not be all that extraordinary.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get past all of these mental roadblocks before my 50s!
