> you are not banking extra years as a person who is still too young to have children. You are subtracting years from the time you will share the world with your children

Yeah, if you value your life before children at 0 it’s true but if you don’t then it’s valuable time many choose to enjoy, in the only period of their lives without huge responsibilities they’ll get while they’re young.

I agree sentimentally that people tend to overly avoid commitment and don’t really think about these things, but for me I don’t think it was an unfair trade.
