So what are my chances?

Hi all,

I'm 20 years old and have long thick curly hair which I really don't want to lose. Unforunately for me almost every one in my family is balding so I'm pretty much 100% sure it can happen to me any moment.
I always had a hairline that a little higher than average but because I have gigantic thick hair it is no problem hiding this.

I read everywhere that the sooner you start to fight the longer you can stand your ground against male pattern baldness.

So what if I start taking finasteride right now or maybe within two years even when I then still don't see any major signs of male pattern baldness? If I am a average responder how are my chances than? Is it realistic that I can keep the same hair status for the next 10 years because I started fighting so early or is this just something for the lucky ones?

Thanks!
