That's not a conditioned response! I also once believed the same as you, and I have friends that are endlessly bootstrapping and spending 60+ hours a week on their startups. They are renters, that don't have much money or a family or relationship, and they pump every freelancing job they do into their new ideas. There's no law that says this will pay off. They might end up in their mid forties with very little wealth or they might end up very rich. These aren't conditioned responses. Grit isn't enough here. You need to make the right choice for your self depending on your own dreams and the likelihood of attaining them. My point is, if you decide you want a family, you will need to stop pouring all of your money into your projects, as it will be difficult for everybody if you're in one bedroom of a shared house...
