The reason you can so easily pull all-nighters in college is because you’re supposed to be having kids at that age.

I'm not against that idea, but I think that came from thinking we "peak at 18" like I've heard my whole life.

I'm 54, a life-long athlete, and I'm in by far the best shape of my life, endless energy, the whole thing. If I was gonna put a number on it, I'd say about 30 - 45 is the right age to have kids.

Develop yourself mentally, spiritually, physically, and financially. Build a huge skillset. Learn how the world works. Then have kids. I think that's the ideal, though again, I'm not against a 20-year-old having kids at all. If that's your passion then go for it!

I just don't want people to think it's too late at 30 or 40 (or more!) It's not.

I don’t doubt you’re in phenomenal shape at your age, but 2 things:

1. Did you treat your body at 18 like you do now?

2. As we age, we biologically need less sleep to feel energized.

Also I’m definitely not saying 30-40 is too old to have kids. All I’m saying is it’s going to be a lot easier the younger you are.

I don’t buy the financially stable cope. They want to spend time with you, not things you buy them.

That is your lifestyle and genetics telling you that you should still be having kids.

You're a man. The women are the ones getting pregnant. And I think it makes more sense having kids younger for them.

I had kids in my 20s and 30s, as my forefathers did!
