Not if I was 65 and still working, because I liquidated my 401k back when I was 30 and it never panned out.

But yea, I would regret being 65 and having never built a business.

I don't know. Probably, if you were able to dramatically cut costs and go into hyper-saving mode. This can be a challenge later in life though (once kids and a mortgage take hold).
