| Consider people in their 40s have.. A mortgage: if you were assuming a strong income that would continue, you very likely could be forced to sell your house and take a huge loss A family, kids: people relying on you Time: at this point you have retirement plans and financial deadlines you need to hit if it's to ever become a reality God forbid you have any health issues that cost $$$ which tend to come as you age. Can you afford to lose health insurance? If you think about re-skilling and starting off at entry level.. people don't really want to hire older beginners. Of course that's absolute worst case scenario, but I guarantee there are a lot of people there. I'd 100% choose living out of my car for a while. In your 20s you can upend everything and completely reinvent yourself. Time, minimal responsibilities and energy are priceless > could pivot to business and people-oriented roles by leveraging what they have now There's a reason that's really vague, right? Because who knows if it'll be available I don't think AI is gunna reach this point but who knows. It's not off the table |
