I agree that six billion dollars probably isn't going to go a long way in putting a bunch of stuff on Mars. Given that the first human would be dropped in 2023-- that's 11 years from now. It would put me at 37.
I'd consider it if I was a professional with no family. Also, I would need my own private rover, and I'd need a Jersey Shore-style basement room where I could rant about the other astronauts to all the viewers back home on Earth.
