Not every 40 is equal, you need to fall within the right category of 40+ for there to be any remaining hope.
1. Financially stable, nice place, in good psychical shape, spent his 20's and 30's grinding and got a good career, somewhat of a blessing to have zero baggage since he can now effectively provide for a family with an adequate amount of resources.
2. Living paycheck to paycheck, no savings, dad bod without being a dad, dead end job
If you in the first group you good, it's probably just a marketing issue where you ain't putting yourself out there enough the clock is still ticking though, second group it probably isn't worth it ain't this stage wtf were you doing with your time in your 20's and 30's no kids yet still broke in a dead job , that needs solving first and it may take a few years since you so far behind
