[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I guess this balances it out for OP![/quote]

Nah. I’ll retire 20 years earlier than you while you’ll still be stuck paying for college loans and a wedding, lol.[/quote]

NP but paying for college so that there is another doctor or teacher or architect out in the world to help better our society, and/or paying for a wedding to allow my child to celebrate their marriage, will be an incredible privilege.  [/quote]

You assume you kid will be a doctor or teacher and that there isn't the remote possibility that they could turn into a bank robber, the drug addict in Kensington Philly, or just a degenerate lobbyist in DC ruining peoples' lives.   Lol, have fun with the now $100k per year tuition fees.  No amount of mental gymnastics will ever convince anyone who is sane with money that it is worth it.  Ha, and then while you're still stuck laying off college bills, little Suzy's $50k wedding is next I konly a few year a fun fun fun.

[quote]Also, what on earth will you do with your time when you retire at age 40 instead of 60? Do you really think that will make you happy? No career, no children…. What will be the purpose, the drive, of your life?? [b]A lot of vacations? That’s how you want to spend your short time on this earth?[/b][/quote]

Uhhh yes.. that sounds amazeballs.[/quote]

I predict that when you die a lonely death you will NOT rot for a few months before some exterminator called by the neighbors comes to see about all the flies.

Oh, you’ll definitely be lonely when you die and you will probably be found by the same exterminator, because he is actually also a serial fraudster who catfishes elderly weirdos to scam them out of their social security. You reply to one of his lonely heart posts and get sucked into a really obvious parasitic financial relationship with him - too bad you have no family to take away your power or authority. He keeps you from going to the doctor and your health will decline; he finds your body one day when he comes to threaten you about being late with the social security handover. He knows a guy who runs a crematorium so he has you cremated but not in the nice way, they put you in the oven with like three paying customers and your ashes wind up with a lovely Catholic family with like 15 kids. So you’ve got that coming

Also, the cool thing about your financial victimhood is that the exterminator manipulated into paying for his kids college. So, you know, that whole argument about tuition is sort of moot. [/quote]

Dying alone sounds fantastic.

Dying while you have a huge number of people hovering over you sounds weird.

If I'm dead, what flying Fs would I care anymore about whether my body is decomposing into a mummy or is found by an exterminator?  I'd be dead.

Now we can see the true selfish reason someone like you had a kid.  You're have an irrational fear of death and an insane need to put your death on for show to anyone related.

Dying one sounds way better.  Congrats, you have a kid who gets to watch you crap in diapers and smell your dry urine once you cannot control your bladder anymore. Wow, so fufilling.  So enriching.

I'll take the vacations instead thank you very much.[/quote]

As a health care provider who deals with death and dying and pronouncing people dead the saddest deaths are the ones where no one is there. Maybe you are different but most people want to feel that their lives had some meaning even if it’s small and having people present/ having friends and family shows that you had an impact and that they care your memories with them.

HOWEVER, this does not have to be your kids! Whatever you do, I recommend that DINKS spend time outside of themselves and invest in relationships esp with younger generation (nieces , nephews, cousins, mentees).  Parenthood is a forced way to make these relationships and there is true beauty in caring for someone and then seeing the grow and having them come around and be present for you in the future. DINKS just have to work harder to create that for themselves.[/quote]
