Can’t sleep. Mind’s racing.
I counted 22 men & women over 35 that I’m friends with who aren’t married & don’t have kids.
Then another 25 couples who are together but have never had children.
This shocked me. That’s a lot of people. Makes me wonder how much of that is by choice, & how much is a reflection of where the world is right now.
I’ve become a middle–upper management cog, & I’m okay with that, for now. I’d rather keep my time for myself & my family than trade it for another $25K a year & several extra hours of unneeded stress each week.
