Stay clear of women, finish school, get a killer career going, buy all the cars/boats/planes/etc you want and then find one who only wants your money. Generally speaking, gold diggers don't want to have children unless they feel the need to trap you in a relationship. Same can be said for young women. Skip all the relationship crap and get rich. Then 'hire' the pool boy for life. All jokes aside; I'm almost 40 with a wife and kids. I've managed to pull together a pretty fair living and wouldn't trade my family for anything. If I could do it all over again I would have stayed clear of relations until after college, didn't meet my wife until then anyhow. High school/college relations are nothing but a big distraction and now I'll probably never get my own G6.
