If you offered me $10 billion for the life of one of my nephews I would take my nephews. The money would not be worth it. But I don't know the kids I didn't have. I suppose if I had 100 of them I would love all 100 of them equally.
Never wanted to. Never felt financially secure until about 3 years ago. By that point it was too late but damn I now have a lot of money.
I could tell you a million reasons. I remember when I was a kid fearing the idea of getting a divorce and losing half my shit and ruining my life plus the lives of my kids.
It's a stupid concept.
I could never meet anyone worth getting married. Oh I met women who I would have married but then they wouldn't marry me. THey had looks, money and great personalities. They could and did do much better than me.
I get sick of women fast. I'm dating a 25 year old hot Belarusian woman right now. I'm even getting sick of her. I'm not ready to break up with her but I don't get excited about seeing her like I did a couple weeks ago.
She asked if she could move in. The next day we talked and both decided that would kill the relationship.
Why did you get married? Did you want to have kids? Can you not stand being alone?
If you offered me 10 Trillion or my kids. i'd take my kids.
Why did I or people in general? My wife was and is a traditional person and she wanted a family and marriage. I would have been happy just living together. In terms of kids, I like them and in general I think people tend to have kids because of fear of their own mortality.
