It's all a gamble. Life is a gamble. What we want to do and what we are able to do are two different things. It doesn't mean through caution to the wind. You should have a definite plan in place and an answer to all the "what ifs" and have alternative options in mind.
Naturally, here on this site we will most likely hear from all the early successes. Opinions here are going to be very skewed. People who have started too early and have regretted it are too busy trying to put their finances and/or lives back together than to be spending idle time on this site.
