    I mean I had my kids in my late 20s. Everyone thought I was nuts, but my kids are gonna be off at college before I’m 50. I’ll be able to enjoy traveling, etc. When I’m not too old.

    Also I love that I’m not gonna be in my 50s raising teenagers

      I enjoyed tons of travelling in my 20s until I had kids mid-30s. I was young enough to go backpacking easily, stayed at random peoples places via couchsurfing. I don’t see myself doing that at an older age and I am glad I had that time.

      There are different ways to look at this.

      I did most of my traveling before kid (it helped that a lot was for work so they paid for it).

      Trying to travel with kid too though. We only had the one so that helps some.
