I can imagine. This is actually the kind of thinking it should provoke.
In my case, I received a lot of pressure from my family and even from myself to go to college and have a career. But I resisted. I always thought that simply going to college without this sense of meaning and passion, spending years and lots of money into something I didn't really believe was just crazy. So, jumping from one little job to another, at the age of 30 I found what was really meaningful to me, that changed my life and wanted to spread this to as many people as possible. So, it became my mission, something I experience and believe in and naturally, some money has to come out of it, because that's the way it is in this world, otherwise I would gladly work for free.
It's always time to make big shifts in life - see, Leo also made his. He also changed his career completely to something he was passionate about and dedicates himself to it, something aligned with his life purpose. I believe this is really what we can call being successful.
