I’m the same bro bro. Just turned 34 two weeks ago and no kids and wife.
Not gonna lie the last year kinda hit me. I think I traveled solo like 3 times and usually I’m good with that but for the first time it was super lonely.
If nothing happens by 40 ima just adopt
I had a similar experience. 34 years old in Spain. Airbnb in a high rise looking over the beach, I had just smashed a 23 year old American chick who was on vacation that I met on a pub crawl. The night before, it was a 27 year old Argentine I pulled speaking Spanish. Both said they thought I was in my late 20s.
Yet I was completely over it, thinking about another girl that I wasn't even with anymore whose company I really enjoyed.
That's when I knew it was time for me to either settle down or find something else more meaningful to do with my time.
34 and I'll probably be dying alone.
I have a career, don't have friends and don't even feel like being around people.
I'm from a small town where you have kids with the girl you went to prom with.
Why not move before you decide? Don't let your environment dictate your outlook 100%.
Countries to “hit” before you marry:
Mexico
DR
Columbia
Brazil
Kenya/Uganda
Thailand/ Philippines
You should taste the world first before you get lonely/settle down.
I hit Mexico, Columbia, Brazil in the last few years and had some crazy experiences. So there might be some truth to this.
This and especially if you got bread the game is a wrap
Yeah...I don't think I'm having kids. Hope to hit half a mill in NW by the fall, which would have me on good pace to retire early. But when I run the numbers with kids and think about the lifestyle drop off? Hell no- especially given everything else going on in the world between AI, climate change, etc.
Getting married is a different story, though.
