I agree with all of this, but at the same time, I'm also finally at a position after years of school with no breaks inbetween, working underpaid, volunteering, etc... that I can (or could) afford nice vacations for myself. Join those Yatch Week trips and what not. But I can't because I made the choice to invest my money in a home, so saving up to go on vacations with my buddys who take at least one a year is very very difficult. But it was my choice to get the house, just like it was Ironhorse's choice to have kids. He earned his way tonthe point that havinkids is a viable option and chose that route. I don't think having kids is a viable option for me at this point even if I wanted to.
