Yeah, I started reading about investing at 21 (senior in college), and dreamed of going like gangbusters through my 20s to a life of leisure with a million in the bank at 30.
Then, as I have shared elsewhere and won't repeat in detail, I failed to execute for a full decade. But hey, I learned a lot from failure. And supposedly I'll appreciate FIRE more as a result, or something like that. Now 37, having more fun than ever, saving more than ever, near 300K NW, on track for late 30s / early 40s.
