By the time I was thirty, my philosophy was fully developed.

Is that good?

You, bet it is! The earlier one understands the essential nature of their own being and the world they live in the earlier they can begin pursuing knowledge which will be truly useful to them, and begin living for that which they are born to live.

If you have to ask that question, you have not yet discovered what the purpose of your life is or how to achieve it. How long do you think one should wait to do that?

No thanks, I'd prefer not to have my own philosophy. Even if I hadn't known something better and just looked around at people who have devised their own philosophies, I'd see that it would be very, very improbable from all the variations that people come up with, that having one's own philosophy would do right by me.

How long should one wait, to discover one's life purpose? I don't think one should wait at all, once it is revealed, after pursuit or simply being pursued, and once one's eyes are uncovered.

Why do you suppose your life has a specific purpose? Also, it would be interesting for me, on the outside looking in, to see what you see yours as. Also, whose purpose? (Not trying to be smartalecky.)
