"squandered" is entirely subjective.
I enjoy some success now in my late 30s because of the variety of learned experience from my 20s.
I made some mistakes I regret, and some mistakes that I value. And the same goes for my successes too.
Often there's a lot of pressure to "achieve" something, but I've met people richer than me who love some of the cool stories i have from being dirt poor but scrappy, and know some minor celebrities who regret not being able to do some simple things without hassle any more, and life really is just being there having a good time if you can. At the end there's no scoreboard, just whether the last few moments are painful or scary or not - but that's everyone. If you enjoy it now you're living better than not.
