I think the question should be "What's the ideal age to have made enough money from programming that you don't have to bother any more?"

Personally, I only got into serious programming about 24 months ago (when I was 34), before that I did some ASM on the C64 when I was about 13 or 14 years old. I started to learn C++ about 10 months ago and I reckon I'll be able to hang up my programming boots within 6-12 months.
