They say he was but a child a few years ago and now he's a grown up man

I say, we are all the same children we were before. Only a bit smarter, with more mistakes in our portfolio and bigger, more expensive toys to play more elaborate games with.

Yh, but normally I thought every year about myself as a complete ediot a few years before. That's becoming less. The child thing, really, I'm 34 and call people my age boys and girls 😂 My toys got less expensive.

@retoor 34..? 😳

wow.....I'm still 20 😂

@AceDev cool. Life advise: if you find the right one settle immediately and don't postpone things because you still want to party. If you have a life right now where you make a lot and have a good job, that's not enough, move further. Don't hold back because your friends are still partying and want to join them. Get kiddos when young. That's all.

@retoor @acedev

I second what she said. Except.. I'd at 20 only advice to hold on to the SO if you have one. After 4-5 years there will hardly be left anything not in the 'desperate-to-mingle' category. And they DO get desperate. Once I was locked in her aptmt with her standing blocking the door not letting me out unless I do her. I was lucky to talk my way out [took me over an hour; I had an exam early in the morning].

Children will be a severe challenge while you're studying. But after studies -- everything @retoor said holds 100%. You will often find reasons "not to". The truth is that you are unlikely to have any better time than "now" [after studies]. Bite the bullet and go.

Imagine starting fam at 35. Living 18-20 years with your children [until adulthood] - you'll be 55 when they leave you alone. Rusty joints, poor eyesight, saggy skin.. Sounds like a good time to start enjoying life?

And how about at 45? Fully matured, €s in bank, good career, full of energy

@netikras just turned 35 😂 And totally agree with you on the aging stuff. My dad still has a lot of energy and lives his pension to the max. I can tell you, that he's very happy he kids AND that they're not living at home anymore on this age.

I hope to find someone nice already having a kiddo :) I did before and it was great :) but I'm very picky in partners.
