I don't agree with that. Plenty of people go to college later in life. You can't do everything at every time in your life. I'd rather see the world when I have money to see it in a bit of style.

Everything shapes who you are from then on, and an experience like travelling may have a big effect on your later life. But so does being a parent, or starting a company, or any number of other big experiences. You just have to make a judgement as to which you want to experience first.

You could make a similar argument for having kids later in life - to some it doesn't any sense to wait until you're old and tired to have kids.
