3 more years until my youngest is 18, and still under 50 years of age while being in the best shape of my life. World Tour will start up at that point.

Blue Jay sure is working hard to convince us how great his life is.

Tell us again Uncle Jay about the money and strip clubs…it all sounds so magical.

When I was 40 I had 2 kids (still do, actually) . Does that count?

I've got 2 also and just a little older than you. Kids are the worst investments a person can own anymore. I wouldn't have said that 60 or 70 years ago. but now I see too many examples where the kids are not growing up able to come back and take care of you like your grandma promised you. Usually they are either special needs , or criminals, or resent how you raised them , or marry someone that don't want them to have anything to do with you or disappointing in some form. It's about like investing a bunch of money in a penny stock. Small chance it'll pay off. My xennial generation has brought up some absolute shite offspring

Currently covered in snot and blood, sitting in the corner in the kitchen while the kids fight over a toilet paper roll...

Congratulations, you have accomplished nothing . You have left no legacy and your entire existence will be forgotten soon after your death.

Not hating on your decision, just a fact.

You notice people without kids don’t care about people with kids unless they’re awful parents who can’t control their kids and it affects them. People with kids always trying to talk people without kids into why kids are so great. That alone should tell you it’s better without kids lol

If kids are a money issue for some of y’all maybe quit being so poor.

I have both my kids in private school in Atlanta. 30k each. That’s 60k a year. If I had 4 kids that would be 120k.
