Love this comment wanted to also share my biggest regret in life is waiting to have kids. I became a dad at 38. All the nights out with friends, happy hours, sleeping late, etc. mean very little now but I’d trade the world to be able to spend more time on earth with my kid.

Hopefully we maximize what we do have but, whatever it ends up being, it could have been more.

Became a dad at a similar age and have the same regrets. Then again I met the right woman very late as well. There are some benefits though. Finances are well established and early retirement is within reach, so I have the freedom to quit any job that doesn’t respect my time. My kids will get a lot more time with their dad than many other kids will.

The thing we need to do is to stay healthy and try to be energetic.
