Funny, I feel the other way around. I waited until I was 40 and everything seems like it was so much easier.
All our friends had had kids, so there was this unlimited supply of free baby stuff available. Not that we needed free stuff because we had a whole lifetime of savings and high paying jobs to cover any expenses that might have come up. I also don't need anywhere near as much sleep anymore as I did in my 20s, so when it turned out that I had to stay up all night every night, it wasn't all that hard to make the switch.
I can't imagine how I could have pulled it off if I also had to work the crappy entry level office job I had in my 20s, living in my dingy studio apartment and eating ramen to try to squirrel away some savings.
Waiting until you're 40 is doing it on easy mode.
