Sugarmomma FTW. I married a teacher though, so startup it is. At least I get free health insurance.
And take care of the kids.
Taking care of kids is a lot of work...
The trick is to have 5 kids; each about a year or two apart. After the first 10 years, you have bootstrapped a built-in babysitting system, lawn mowing, and house keeping, you name it...its a lengthy bootstrapping cycle, but should pay off well after 10 years unless they all turn out to be spoiled brats ;). But, hey, all start-ups have their risks.
But kids can be a hobby too
The worst thing is when parents force themselves upon their children. It puts so much stress on the child and causes stress like none other. Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" is filled with a lot of corny ideas by an author that is fantasizing about himself being a prophet, in my opinion, but what he has to say about children is excellent.
"You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth."
Put the kids to work!
and pay someone to take care of the kids

I did... in training :)
However be careful, a smart person with nothing to do is a very unhappy person.
