Around the kids sporting events we seem to be the youngest parents, as we were 26 and 28 when the kids were born. In many ways this sets you back when comparing to those who worked professional jobs until mid to late 30’s before having kids. Of course I can still throw a fastball at 37 but my son’s friend’s 57 year old dad, cannot. He does however have a nice house, and part of that is that he avoided the expense of kids until he was well into his 40’s.
