spent the weekend with my granddad, he is 85 now and got married at 25

he started the family in a poor, socialist country, in a depth of the cold war, with no real career prospects or financial security

average 25 year old men these days are 10x better off and don’t even consider starting families

feels backwards 

really? it makes sense to me— come home from hell and want a family, not much else to do, no global connection, cheaper homes and whatnot

my little brother had twins with his wife and i think he is 25 or 26– but that comes from nesting back at our home town not traveling the country on more singular priorities

don’t know anything about your economy or his just commenting on my own. look forward to kids though def @ low 30s

my friends back home mostly have kids and families now
