Also, if life is a video game metaphorically speaking, would you really want to start out at level 50 with a vault full of gold or start at level one and work your way up?
Level 1 all the way. The game would not be anywhere near as much fun if you started off being able to do everything and everything. Tho, some people do love to hack their character instead of work for it.

Great analogy.
