This might sounds funny, but age and IM got nothing in common.
You have people who joined before BTC, during early BTC, they was notified by other about BTC rise, they had money, they bought even in 2015-2016 and still managed to fail with their investment, or they ignored it.
You have people who made 7 digits with CPA from 2010-12-14 and they spent their money in the worst possible ways.
You have people who started IM in 2017-18 and made quick bucks on Fortnite with almost zero knowledge about marketing.
I will give personal example where I accidentally added an outdated item to my random SEO dropship site, and it ranked #1 in a week or two (because item was outdated, nobody was selling original), and then supplied that item from Aliexpress and earned a lot, because I found a good store and was advertising an original item, with copies found was as good as original.
Everything is about right action at the right moment. You connect that two and money attacks you.
You can only regret being stupid and not taking action, because only action can open money gates.
