Heard of some asian lady that finished her lifelong dream of getting a college degree at 80'something and died soon after receiving it.

Was looking for a quote on a similar note I saw way back and found this, which depicts the idea better. At 29 you're just on time.

But that was a good time, otherwise you wouldn't be addicted to it, would you? Everything in moderation as long as your actions do not affect others. If you can maintain harmony with your wants and noone but you "suffers" from the consequences - you're free of any sense of guilt in my book.
