500k again? In reference to the other HN poster with 500k and still unhappy. Isn't 500k a lot of money? which presumably would give some financial freedom to pursue one's interests. There is a trade-off in raising a kid but there are certainly rewards to it such as happiness in terms of relationships. But of course, the constraint is that it will limit one's freedom on pursuing own interests. Reminds me a bit of Paul Lutus[1] who purposefully decided to not get married or have children even though he has a lot of financial resources. His reasoning was that "his ideas are his kids". Basically, kids are people's legacy but for some people, like Isaac Newton, their legacy is their ideas that we've all benefited from. Anyway, this comment is just to say that I think I can relate to your situation since even though I'm single, I can imagine how being married and having a kid would consume my nights which I normally spend on a side-project.
