DAE think of their lives like an MMORPG? (included in the analogy are skill points, XP, and unlockables)

I never tried to explain it before so here is a crude representation of what i mean:

• Going to the gym - Increasing your Strength skill points
• Going to school - Increasing your XP
• Passing a course - Increasing your Intelligence skill points
• Buying a new ______ - Like unlocking an item
• Graduating - Leveling up

There are so many others...maybe help me list them?
