- xyzelement 4y agoI don't get your point. We are a diverse crowd. Personally, I've lived what is pretty close to the highlight of single life (dating on NYC, traveling to 20-30 countries a year, etc) and now am a boring but super happy suburban dad of 2 (and hoping for more) - you don't think someone like me can offer an insight on what works and why?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y ago> traveling to 20-30 countries a year No, probably not. Whatever your life circumstances are, they're so ridiculously far outside the norm that almost nothing about your life applies to most people's.
- xyzelement 4y agoI am making an extreme point. Whatever people's idealized single life is, working in finance/tech in NYC, dating and traveling would be on that list. And I can still articulate why married life is way better for me.

- xyzelement 4y agoI am referring to the opportunity cost. I had the most "fun" to give up.
- _gmax0 4y ago'Whatever people's idealized single life is, working in finance/tech in NYC, dating and traveling would be on that list.' This is where you begin to overgeneralize.
- gamechangr 4y agoWhat do you do that would have you traveling to more than one country a month?
- xyzelement 4y agoI was a product manager at a finance tech firm and would do several region tours a year. So sometimes it would just be a day or two in a country at a time, still fun.
