26 years old and my life is great.
I can wake up at my time. Stay up late nights on my time. I go on random bike rides whenever I want. I find cheap flights and telleys and travel to random cities all the time. I go to many concerts. My crib is the weed smokers lounge because and it's all good. And for not "ballin" my money is pretty long
Like I said, folks will come in and say anything to rationalize. However, the fact is with kids, if you're going to be actively involved in their lives, as any responsible adult should, you automatically lose a large chunk of your freedom. Of course that changes as they grow older, but for many years, virtually all of your decisions will have to factor in the child. You can't just get up and do things or decide not to do certain things anymore. I'm not talking to folks who have kids, but aren't actively in their lives; you folks already lost.
I feel you, but eventually I want to continue my legacy

Y'all always kill me with this too. Two hundred years from now, no one will remember you even existed, b. If you want to continue your legacy, go out and do something meaningful. Einstein, Shakespeare, and so forth, those names have and will exist for centuries.
