Yeah but isn't it weird? Phil obviously doesn't want a 10-year plan, he wants to just keep scamming retards and his parents forever. And Mom doesn't want a 10-year plan because that's either a blow-off or an outsized commitment to mud-wrestling pigs. So how did a 10-year plan even wind up on the table?
I think she gave him some type of ultimatum after she realized her almost 40 year old son couldn’t contribute anything towards his own wedding. Forgive me if I get some lore wrong, but I’m pretty sure Phil’s parents paid for the plane tickets, the hotel, the dinner afterwards, and probably the actual marriage license itself. Phil used an old suit, Kat got a hand me down dress, they supposedly found their rings on sale from some place that was going out of business. And on top of all that, Phil had the nerve to hit mom up for even more money for taxes or to save the house or whatever beg he had going on.
Something had to have clicked in Mama Burnell’s head and she told Phil that he needs to find a more stable career because she can’t keep bailing him out. He made up some bullshit ahn the fly about needing time to transition into something else just to shut her up, crafted that into the 10 year plan on the plane ride home for the dents, and eventually memoryholed it years later. That’s my theory anyway.
