I made huge trade-offs when I was younger and even in your age. I didn't see my kids much before the age of five because I got very motivated. But having kids really focused me on doubling down or really knuckling down, bearing down, whatever the term is, so I could have economic security because I felt a very healthy sense of of obligation to be a provider and a protector.

I think that's a good thing. I think men should feel that way. And I embraced that and I said, okay, I'm gonna stop drinking as much. I'm gonna drink less. I'm gonna get very focused on work. I'm going to be smarter. I'm going to start saving money. I moved to Florida to avoid, to lower my burn so we could start saving more money.

And then the typhoon-like winds of an unprecedented bull market just literally launched me into space. Really? But if I hadn't had some of that maturity that I think was forced on me by having a kid, I wouldn't have recognized the same prosperity. So for me, it was very, very focusing.

I mean, a lot of it is specific or individual. And the key question is... What's your relationship as it relates to kids? What's the relationship you have with a partner? So I have a very competent partner who makes good money and has really thoughtful, like I'm the spender. She's much more frugal. Yeah. She was born in Poland. So she was, you know, waiting in line for fish when she was a kid.

So she's, if it were up to her, we'd have just Krugerrands buried in the backyard and maybe take a huge risk and buy like Deutsche Bonds. I'm the more risk aggressive one. I'm the one that likes to spend. I'm more of the YOLO person. The best households are households that bring together, and both of those things are good, a mix of personality traits.

But having a competent partner who can help you with the kids and the immense responsibilities you can partner with around not only the family, partner with romantically, partner with financially. I think that's important. So, I wouldn't just tell everyone have kids.

What I would suggest is if you got a great partner and a lot of people specifically women are deciding now that they don't need a partner. And I think that's actually quite liberating, good for them. But do they have people in their life that can help? Because it's a lot. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of financial responsibility.

But I would tell almost anyone that is making a decent living on up that having kids is incredibly rewarding, incredibly rewarding. And for me, it was focusing. Yes.

Yeah, well, you sort of got to one of the answers. So the first is, and young people are very good at asking this question over and over, is sex and affection. That basically says, I choose you. It's really important. And young people are very good at determining whether that works or not. The second is values. Weird stuff like, where do you expect to be living in five years? Or do...

You know, my ex-wife expected to be or wanted to be living very close to her parents. I had not considered that. I did not think about that. Do you want to live in a city? Right. What's your approach to religion? You know, there's just a lot of questions around values. And then the third one you referenced that people talk about money. 70 percent of divorce filings are filed by women.

We have a tendency to stereotype women as being these doughy,
