I mean, the reason many people fit this in their forties, is because they finally have the time and money to do so.

I was too poor in my twenties to have a nice espresso setup. I make decent money now, but I have young kids now, so no time. In ten years time when I'm in my forties, I'll finally have the time and money simultaneously.

When I was a young man in the '80s and '90s, I used to dream of owning fancy bicycles. Now I'm old enough and rich enough to afford ... fancy bicycles from the '80s and '90s.
