i know of a successful banker in cebu who opted to become a priest in his mid-30s. he's now one of the most dedicated priests in the archdiocese.
a very successful (read: rich) businessman also opted, though his path was more circuitous. i can imagine the internal storms he went through.
at a time when mobile phones were not so common, he already had one, which he had to give up when he entered the seminary. i could give up everything i have but my mobile phone, he had complained. but he gave it up anyway.
well, he had a girlfriend who he didn't give up like his mobile phone. one day he set aside his planned vocation and married her. the union didn't last. after 2 children, 2 residential houses, and a good number of cars, he again gave up everything, including his wife (through annulment), and went back to the seminary. i understand he's now a priest of a certain order, though i haven't heard of him since.
