[Henry17]

Kids do change everything. I have very little interest in having children though so that works out. I also date girls that are much younger than me so they are not really keen on having children at that age either. I guess the hope is that by the time someone chooses to take on the responsibility of having children they should have enough in savings that going bust isn't a real concern.

I'm not sure if a job is a death sentence but a job does consume enough time that there is no way it wouldn't have a devastating impact on quality of life. Without working I am still falling behind on things I want to do. There is no way to give up 50 hours a week and not suffer for it.
