    Well just a second, I didn't say I have nothing to show for it. $30g's was an acceptable living then, I had a farmhouse, 2 kids, classic cars, snowmobiles, you didn't have to make $100 grand, you could enjoy life and an Olds Cutlass staton wagon was good enough. I'm sorry you feel that way, my kids are the best thing that ever happened to me, and I don't even know what car that is, and don't care. We are clearly worlds apart.

    Spoiled? Ahh man, nothing about my life would say spoiled. I've definitely worked hard for everything I have now.

    Yeah, I changed that, I apologize, and we all worked hard for what we have. By spoiled, I guess I meant society as a whole. Just remember, who paved the way for the life you are living today. We just had different priorities, I guess.

    Hmm... I disagree. My priorities are making as much money as possible BEFORE having kids. I'm actually trying to survive and make it to where I can have the luxury of changing my name to "Happy Retired"

    I can't wait for the day.

    Don’t be too hard on him. Some people just aren’t cut out to be parents. At least he has the wisdom to admit it and not produce any.

    That's cool, like I say, we just had different priorities, we made do with not a lot of money. We didn't need $40,000 sports cars, or 6 figure homes, we had an $800 station wagon, a $200 snowmobile, and had fun on used $4 ice skates. Steer the course, pal, it's over before you know it, and to be honest, I'm glad you have the initiative to succeed, and there's too many people already. Besides, I'm not sure I'd want to raise children in what's to be our future. Peace, my friend.

    Yeah man it's getting really crazy out here. Explaining to my father how bad the dating game is really confuses him. I told him about this chick that says... "Men should provide and protect" but she can't even cook a real meal AND has a feminist mindset. This chick believes a man should basically spend his life taking care of her while he doesn't even get a hot meal or even sex regularly lol.

    As far as me having kids, wouldn't have worked out well given the women that I considered ultimately, IN TIME, proved to me it was a smart decision to not go that route. Couple that with child support, divorce shenanigans, etc, it's easier for me to be the "uncle dad" from afar.
