Learn English – Phrase that refers to all the events in a person’s life

phrase-requests

I'm looking for a phrase that I think goes like "Life [Phrase]". It means something like "The whole sequence of events of a person's life"?

For example,

College, then Marriage, then Kids, then [Phrase]

And I remember it being used as a news article title:

"Modern Life [Phrase]-s are changing, girls are having kids before marriage, etc."

I don't think its "Life Schedule" or "Life Plan".

However, I don't think that the news article would say that the "Modern Life [Phrase]-s" are 'changing', but more that they are 'broken'.

It feels like a psychological term that means

The plan that you have, of the events that you want in your life, and what order you want them to be in and how old you are at that point.
