Quote From Tudor_Queen:
It depends on your context and other personal factors that might be important (e.g., finance, other commitments, support), but definitely not on your age. Many people pursue PhDs in the years beyond their 20s and 30s.
Quote From Nad75:
Most people in the incoming class with me are in their 30s. It's smart to get a savings buffer before beginning, so you have the financial freedom to attend conferences or travel during the PhD.
I am financially broke right now, That's the primary reason
