What’s the “Best” Age to Learn Affiliate Marketing? Asking as a Dad, and as a Fell

My daughter turns 18 this June—and guess what her graduation present is?
No, not a car.
It’s a crash course in online business.
fShe’s insanely talented at animation, and I’ve already helped her start a portfolio website, get a domain, and build a framework to turn her art into income. (No MLM, no BS—just skill meets systems.)

At the same time, I’ve met incredible creators in this community who are well into their 60s and beyond—some who are retired, some who are just getting started, and others who are finally giving themselves permission to pursue something they’ve put off for decades.
So here’s my question to the community:
What do YOU think is the best age to learn affiliate marketing—or start any kind of online business?
Is it:
- When you’re young enough to adapt quickly and fail forward?
- When you’re older and have the life experience to spot BS faster?
- When you’re fed up with “safe” paths and finally want something that feels real?
- Or is the best age just… whenever you’re finally ready?
No wrong answers here.
Just curious where others are at on this timeline—whether you’re guiding your kids into it, or giving your own dreams a second wind.
Let’s talk age, timing, and why you started when you did.
