Is it too late to start at 48 years old??
Hello BP’ers,
I’m new to BP but not entirely new to REI. I’ve owned rentals and vacation property but lost it all in an ugly divorce. I’m now 48 years old and starting over with not a lot in the bank. I hear a lot of success stories here but most of them are from young folks with MANY years of wealth building ahead of them. I would love to here success stories of folks who started from scratch in their late 40’s - early 50’s.

Yes , you are too old . You have 1 foot in the grave and the other in a banana peel . You should be looking into nursing homes , and getting one of those buttons around your neck " I have fallen and I cant get up "

Its too late only when you are pushing up daisys
