I don't get why drag is so proportional to age. Yes, older people have more drag (family, mortgage, etc.) but these factors are already accounted for. I am 40, so get a drag factor of 4 points right there, but do not own a home. Why should I get more drag than the 25 year-old mentioned in the article with a mortgage?

Because you know what could get wrong.

I'm also pushing 40, and part of my hesitation is the opportunity cost. Will I seriously regret foregoing a year of market rate salary during my peak earning years, when I only recently got a clue and started saving? I'm also less blasé about doing without group health insurance than I used to be, just from watching people age (and CORBA only lasts so long).
