What you might have that your parents didn’t have is a longer life expectancy. Not for sure, but it is a good idea to consider the deadlines in your head.

- xwdv 3y agoDo not have kids before buying a house. This will almost certainly guarantee you’ll never reach escape velocity to buy a house if you have standard income levels. Also, it doesn’t actually matter much when you have kids. As long as you have a fertile partner and sufficient resources you can basically have them whenever. The time to have kids depends on what parenting style you want. If you want a more hands off approach where you mostly just prevent kids from making stupid decisions while they decide their own course in life, it’s fine, perhaps advantageous being an older parent. If you prefer though to micromanage your kid and learn about life with them as you go along and get in arguments with them about the best way to do things, being younger is better.

The increase in deaths of despair is indicative of adversity in the greater population - not just those who essentially commit suicide via drugs or alcohol. It's dropped by much yet, but I anticipate life expectancy to drop further - and become more significant in relation to previous generations as economic adversity increases, also making adequate medical care harder to come by.
