Going to respectfully argue against it being the perfect time. I did it 13 years into my career and I don't think it could have come at a more perfect time (both for career reasons and personal reasons).
I have shared this before, but it really makes you realize how the simpler life is a much more enjoyable life. It ends up being 6 months of practicing needs vs wants and has been a life change for me. I think having worked for those years before hiking really made it hit home how much I took for granted and just how easy it is to get in a "rut".

My brother in law completed the PCT a couple years ago, prior to him talking about it leading up I'd never really heard about thru-hiking.
It's something I wished I'd known about when younger, and at this point my career and family life wouldn't make it a doable thing until much later down the road.
I'm fascinated by it though, the simplicity of living, the toughness to complete, I have respect and envy for anyone that can do it.
