I don't understand why people are saying "I have so many things left to do and so many places to visit, I can't have kids now". But you can do all that with kids and have even more fun than doing all that by yourself...

Exactly. I have a 2 year old, two months after he was born I founded a security company (so you could say I'm a hacker). I have visited more places in this 2 years than in the 32 years before that. It's crazy sometimes, all the work, no sleep, wife hates me when I come too late from work, etc. But I love my son, I wish I could have 100 like him. Matter of fact I can, but wife doesn't approve :) Protip: If you want kids DONT wait until you have a nice job, house, car, etc. by that time you are in your 40's and it's way more difficult.
