All my friends are having fucking kids right now. Literally 4 of them popped out babies this year.

I had my first at age 23 before my divorce and only have 12-13 more years of child support left until I'm free. I got a vasectomy at age 25. I feel like it was the best financial decision of my life. I'm now 29 and have a net worth of +29k (all assets-all liabilities) with a comfy engineering job.

I feel like I have a chance of making it by age 40. Got a 60k crypto stack, a decent house on a mortgage and only 30k student loans).

I got all the mistakes out of the way when I was in my 20's (marriage, divorce, kids) and now my life is finally starting. I will never again fall for the marriage and kids meme and am sad to see my friends following the route I did that will inevitably lead to an expensive divorce later in life.

In this moment, I am euphoric

Clearly you don’t have kids so you don’t understand.

I get the OP, for me only a bit over 7 years left of child support

Can not wait to stop paying $1000+ per month. It does not cost that much to bring up a kid in post tax income, especially when the mother is meant to also contribute

I’m 38, never married. Retired at 36 to be a peasant-tier NEET. It’s so comfy hearing married guys envy my lifestyle. Like, imagine making a decision that everyone tells you is wrong, but you know you are right and it all works out. Anyway, hang in there OP.

You’re not missing anything. Statistically speaking , you have an extremely high chance of the marriage ending in divorce which will financially ruin you unless your wife earns more or has more money than you.

Marriage is a meme made for people “to feel secure”

Don’t even get me started on kids, unless you know you 100% want them and the life commitment that comes with it, don’t have any.

I have one and that’s it for me, still haven’t gotten around to getting the vasectomy yet but I constantly worry about walking around with a loaded gun in my pants

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 4 20:08:18 2019 No.14591201 Kids are an investment. If you are not retarded and know what your doing (+ some luck) all your sacrifices are going to pay well.

The best question I’d ask myself whether I truly want kids is, “would I still want a kid if I knew he was going to be autistic?” Because that’s a real question to ask yourself. Look at all the shows with drug addled adult children and teen mothers - would you still love them?

because if you marry a high achieving woman it's an over all increase of assets and if she's too focused on her career she won't be fucking other dudes
