One of the popular answers from Quora hit the nail on the head. A lot of "early acheivers" i.e. those that achieve some form of success before 30, end up blowing the dough due to bad investments, reckless spending, etc. At least that's what happened to me.

I'm 31 & on my 4th business. The last biz was reasonably successful at one point, that is until I blew the cash and became reckless with both my personal and business' finances.

Now I'm starting from scratch, no exit strategy for the foreseeable future, but all the desire and ambition I had when I was 18 in my college dorm room pondering on how to be a millionaire by 30. I seriously doubt I've missed the boat
