Only wealthy, lucky and extremely skilled people are telling everyone to have kids. Regular people like me should not have kids until they reach financial, emotional, and career maturity.

Don’t wait. Accidental childlessness is more common than accidental pregnancy nowadays.
Justin, you are absolutely right to have your POV under the fiat system. The most painful thing about the fiat system is that, it does not allow us to prioritize family, the most beautiful and most important thing in life.
Hopefully under a bitcoin standard financial and career maturity is conceivable and achievable for 90% of the population. With bitcoin as the most sound money, the emotional maturity should be well intact.
Well said, brother!
there are pros and cons.
the maturity helps, but energy levels aren't as high -_-
Nah.
Kids are cheaper to feed and clothe than adults.
My income is below the poverty line and I'm feeding a family and still have money left over for tobacco
The wealthy people are the ones telling people to do it, but they are speaking to everyone, not just others like themselves.
I’d add to it, do things in the right order, as it statistically points toward later success - out of HS, working, married, have kids. Though I know plenty who went a bit out of order, then corrected course, and have awesome now young adult children.
I’m 45, have two kids, and wish I’d had more, as I wanted to. Alas, I married poorly. Choose wisely, fellas & ladies.
I’m so sick of being the youngest person at half the things I go to. What a drab future that will be.
If you wait until you're ready you will never have kids. People have been having kids for a million years when they couldn't afford it and thank God for that because that means that you're here
Agreed, low time preference can be good in building a family. Waiting worked well for me.
Maybe you'll buy a yacht for a vacation when you have money, but I think it depends on your hard work and persistence https://www.yachttrading.com/new-yachts-for-sale/
