This is what society prescribes: Go to school, get a job, marry, and sire kids. Then end up living a modest life and zero graze around your wife’s p-sleeve
But they don’t tell you the pitfalls e.g.
Melodramatic nagging wives
Screaming kids that need to be feed, clothed and pampered, school fees etc
Bills, i.e. electricity, water, rent, food etc
Surrounded by humans, every corner of the house there is someone (no Me time)
You will be broke as hell, refreshing your bank account on the pay day (end month)
etc etc etc
Now here is an alternative to good life
Live a simple fulfilling life i.e. get a vasectomy (no kids), don’t marry or cohabit (only do short term relationships), save and invest, tour the world on Christmas eve to your country (destination) of choice as peasants flock machakos country going upcountry with their overweight wives and insolent kids. Thank me later
Being married and investing/touring the world are not mutually exclusive.
Raising your kids and supporting a family is not for everyone but it can be very fulfilling.
Getting married is not a sure-fire way of being broke as hell.
One of the reasons that depression was low in the traditional African society was because people were surrounded by lots of humans. Extended families and entire communities to be precise. Humans are social.
Lots of miserable, broke, and sad bachelors everywhere. Same goes for married men. There is no correlation between your happiness and marital status.
I think financial status is a stronger predictor of happiness than marital status. So, instead of telling young men not to marry, I would tell them to stack that paper and decide for themselves whether to marry or stay single. It won’t guarantee happiness, but it is a stronger predictor of happiness than marital status. Money won’t buy happiness, but its close enough.
No. 4 wrong
Today in the modern society social media is the main cause of depression. In ancient times people were close because theycould share stories.
Today old people above 60 have to fake sickness so that their kids can come visit. Plus numerous other tactics to get society’s attention. Haiya! Sikujua pia hao wanasuffer depression kwa sababu wako tiktok na IG.
This one No… Tafuta kitu mzuri uweke mimba. Mambo ya ubachelor si poa. Kupika, kufua, etc… Personally I want to take care of my kids as a man and experience the full spectrum of life including family life plus the happiness and disappointments…
Tulisema hapa mtu asettle akishaomoka… Hiyo ikiwa sorted izo zingine will fall into place na hautakua na stress mob sana… First become a mbirionea halafu settle…
