It's never too late to make a change. I'll be honest. I was in the same boat as you are at the same age. I spent my days sitting alone in my house after work, smoking weed and playing xbox, simply because i was so depressed it was the only thing that made me feel whole. I'm 25, going on 26, only been married a year. No kids, but just now one on the way. I don't think of it in terms as how old I will be when that child is grown, i think of it in terms of what I overcame to get to where I am now. I think of it in terms of the life i have now and the one I'm no looking back on.

I guess my point is i know what it feels like. I really do. And its never too late. You can do anything you want. You havent wasted your life. Your life is just beginning.
