    Bro it’s 2026. Almost every woman with children in my close circle who is of my generation had their first kid in their thirties. Like raising a kid is much easier when you have a stable financial foundation.

      I have a friend who had his first at 18, I had my first at 36. We honestly cant work out who had/has it easier.

      He had to scrimp and stretch every penny he could get his hands on. But he was young, had energy and his parents were young enough to help alot.

      I’m financially secure (enough and for now) but I’m always tired as fuck, short on time and the grandparents probably consume as much time as they save.

      All the ones in my circle who had kids in their 20s are miserable. The rest are childless and much happier (at least given the times we’re living in).
