Just to clarify, I am not talking about the actual age that you lost it here, but rather the age you would have liked to lose it if you had no obstacles/constraints/etc.

Reason why I ask is because I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day, and at one point he said that he should have lost his sometime during High School. That way, as his logic went, he would be able to concentrate at school (Engineering student) and not "waste" his time trying to do it during university.
