I started everything later in life. But as it turns out, it's definitely working out for me. My twenties and thirties were spent building a career in the computer industry, and it was a lot of fun while it lasted. I've thought of family life, but then realized it's not my bag at all. I'm a solitary individual who values his independence too much to tie himself down into a traditional American fifties lifestyle.
I'm in my early forties now, and I've already quit my job, sold my condo, and working at launching my own TV station. I can do this now because most businesses will take you much more seriously and believe in your dreams when you're in your forties than any other age. I admit the perception is highly prejudicial, but that's reality. I'm just lucky the idea for the business was thought up at an age which I could realistically accomplish it. And the experience I've gained in the computer industry during the last twenty years will be valuable in accomplishing my goals.
So if your twenties and thirties didn't turn out exactly the way you wanted, don't worry! The amount of stuff you can get away with in your forties is simply phenomenal!
