Kids who do their own things, leaves a lot of time at hand. As a father of a 3 year old, I find it very difficult to sneak in even 15 minutes of thinking time.

  As a parent, I can tell you that I'd rather just spend the time with my kids. I owe it to them to be there, to be a role model for them, to make sure they are getting the right start in life and have what they need. In short, it's about them which I think too many Millenial types overlook--once you have kids, it's not about you anymore. I can't see why I would do a startup. I'm 45, am already fairly well off, and just don't care about all the hassles. Money is not everything. In fact, money is nothing at all. I've been in tech long enough to realize what a scam all of it is--very little has uplifted humanity. We have a huge sense of self importance about it, but honestly, most of it will just be forgotten in another couple of decades. Like it never existed. The only thing that endures is your legacy through your children and if they are mistreated by you, well, there will be nothing at all. So yeah, work your life away, but I'm not going to.
