Depends on what you think youth should be used on. If there is something you wanted to do at 20, why can't you do it at 30 or 40 or older? We started a family very young. My wife was 17 and I was 19 when our first child was born. Responsibilities played a role in some of the things we were able to do. We probably wouldn't change anything were we truly able to turn back time.
We were able to finish school, have good careers and raise 3 fine young men when most of our friends were "having a blast". Now our youngest is 18, we are not looking at finding a good nursing home yet. A trip through Europe one day will be booked through a travel agent instead of doing it on our own with back packs (does anyone really hitch hike across Europe), but I'm going to put some beers back in Bavaria and Belgium one day.
No matter what age you are, you need to do as Morgan Freeman's character in The Shawshank Redemption said. "Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'".
