"I realized I was sitting at a bullshit, low stakes table, and there's a bigger game to be played." There is no greater and more meaningful experience to be had as a human being than raising kids.
Not having kids is a life hack. I spend my summers in Europe, take cross-country road trips, and disappear off-grid on weekends. The money I’d spend on kids goes to investing, experiences, and freedom. Different priorities. Different definition of rich.

It helps that I once worked for a book publisher, have designed many covers, done all sorts of marketing, worked for years as an editor, and had family and friends who also are professional editors. Traditional publishers had nothing to offer me but headaches.

“Hey Jon, why did you self-publish your novel?” Traditional publishing was a dead end. By controlling the process myself, I could write accurate historical reality, legally own the characters, save about a year of publishing time, and increase the profits.
@feelsdesperate Just one of many examples, The New Yorker completely stopped publishing fiction by white American men

I just had a two hour briefing this morning from a retired Navy EOD diver who has security contracts to patrol a certain port. This absolutely could happen to US Navy ships too. We absolutely must prioritize harbor defense!!

Having a life is better than curating a lifestyle.
I can 💯 confirm that having kids kills your lifestyle unless your lifestyle is staying home on Friday nights cleaning up poo and vomit. For 3 years.
