Know a guy just like me who took until his 40s to develop past certain life stages. I think I'm in some similar ones now at 30 only because I'm more educated. I think education helps you see the writing on the wall faster
I dunno man. Certainly a lot of women miss that "oh my god I'm gonna be poor if I don't marry well soon" stage or the "you're hired because you're a 22yo non obese woman" stage by pursuing law school/grad programs.
