"Now in my late 20's, I feel like both my programmer peers' buying power and personal power are waning. Financially, most of my friends who're going for medicine and law are now in residency/associate training and will soon over take me in earnings."
I think you are being too hard on yourself. What I don't
understand in the start-up/programming is the insistence
on hiring youth. Personally, I feel some companies need a
little more maturity on the payroll?

It's easier to convince a dev in their early 20s that suicide overtime is a good idea. You can also call them a "junior developer" and pay them less. And they often don't have pesky things like families to go home to, kids that need braces, or medical ailments that raise insurance premiums.
