depends on what you consider wasted, imagine yourself at the age of 70+ years when your health starts to fail you, what would have made your life up to that point not wasted? when you start to go through the list of things you feel you need to do to consider your life successful you start to understand how meaningless those things are by that point
lets say you would go the boomer route of well paying career, house, wife, two kids and a dog with a nicer car than your neighbor, would having those at age of 70 make you happy, you're too old to get it up, your wife has her menopause, your kids are adults and probably estranged, your house is bleeding your income and you retired from your successful career with graceful bow and now you're left with nothing but your savings, aged wife and whole lot of nothing to do
