I did not have kids because I wanted to - Lift weights - Write a great book - Travel - Party I did all of that, and it was great, and don't trust anyone who said it's not. And then I decided to start a family....Which shows me another world.

Without kids, men live cheaply. It really is a joke how cheap it is to be a man. If I wanted to learn a new subject, do nothing but read books all week while working and hitting the gym, could do this, no problem. If boss was a dick, just quit, whatever. Kids change it.

It’s true. All I ever needed was a boat, truck and my dog. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t trade my kids for that life back ever, but it was easy, and more than fine.

That is a man who only wants to live for himself. He is still selfish and doesn’t understand that sacrificing for someone else is truly living. We have the ultimate example of sacrifice, they wrote 22 books about him and people have continuously died for him.

Kids generated a work ethic in me that did not exist before they were born, but once they were born they also soaked up a lot of time which undermines a lot of work projects.

Which is why married men earn so well; they have to. Wasn't necessary as much being single

We do live cheaply, just paying for ourselves. I grow tired of it to be honest cause its no challenge.. The challenge of becoming a father is like facing 100 world class chess players at once and you have only 1 board. Bring it on.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement. One can certainly have meaning without children, and I think we're likely to see more of that in the future.

Completely agree. I was 37 when I had my first. It was a conscious choice to change lifestyles, because to raise a family right takes complete dedication. Your time becomes 98% focused on them, or your doing it wrong.

I can't disagree. I am that guy. Although, not sure I like your tone about single guys. Not our fault you wanted to man up and have a kid. That shit is on you, bro.

Kids change everything. You now look at the horizon - the future - as a stakeholder. It really matters in a way it didn’t before.
