Hey I am older than you. I just want to suggest that it's probably not a great idea to look at turning around your life as if it's binary.
What I would personally be looking for, if I were you, is an aspect of my life that I can turn around relatively easily, and then a second one, which might be a little more challenging.
Try to develop a little momentum in the direction that you want to go in life.
From there, I would keep breaking down the things that would represent a complete turn around for me, and try to achieve those things one at a time.
We all get on losing streaks in life. We all have technologies that we work with that go from hot, to good, to old, to unpopular. But I argue that we can't look at ourselves as a failure or success in a binary fashion.
We have to keep reinventing and course correcting, one step at a time.
