It's funny, because my wife and I always say we wish we had gotten married sooner, and had kids younger. Looking back in our 20's where we spent more time "enjoying life" or whatever, it was mostly a waste. Sure we ate out more and traveled a bit and went to the bars...but it really means very little. Hedonism is a dead end, that youthful energy is for raising kids, not recovering from hangovers...
100%. My wife is like 15 years younger than her mom peers and they are so old and tired and exhausted. They can't keep up with their kids in the slightest.
I will say that the one silver lining of waiting was that I was able to move to a much nicer area closer to family. When I was in my early 20's my future wife and I were both living in largely non-White shithole urban centers. But again I was not planning for kids at 20 or even 25. We were't even big travelers, most just road trips and camping.
My wife and I have the exact same conversation. We both consider whatever the hell we were doing before getting married and having kids a total waste of time. I constantly think about how old my kids are going to be when I die, and it's never old enough.
