Dunno, it sounds prefectly reasonable to me, for the most part, as it is things that people INDIVIDUALLY can control.

I got 2 out the the three items in Part 2. I married when I was 19 and still in college. I think it was the biggest mistake of my life... the timing, that is. We've been together for 27 years now, but we lived long in what I thought of as "poverty," thanks to large debts we built up before graduation.
