This makes me wonder, we have seen in polls earlier that most people active on HN are in late 20s or thereabouts. Now, such decisions are very important and many concur but is it possible most people who agree with her are more or less in the same age bracket and similar mindsets. Can anyone tell me honestly, how such decisions play out in the long run? I mean, in about 15-20 years from now, after taking such a decision, would one be extremely satisfied with his/her life or will one look back at this as a young person's decision that gave up on comfortable retirements plans, insurances, mortgages, holidays, life style etc. I am guessing there should be both kinds but which has higher odds?
