A 34 yo who lost his livelihood for some reason after being previously successful can turn things around technically yes.
But someone who sat on his ass for half his life is shaped by his abilities and choice not just on the outside but on the inside.
You wouldn't make it even if you switched places with someone who's already successful, you would lose everything in a month. He on the other hand would be able to pick up the pieces of your life and make something of it, yeah.
