I am in my late 20s and feel I have wasted a lot of time. Is it too late for me to achieve something worthwhile? Too late for what? If you slept through your 26th birthday, it’s too late for you to experience that. It’s too late for you to watch “LOST” in its premiere broadcast. (Though, honestly, you didn’t miss much.) It’s too late for you to fight in the Vietnam War.
