I'm not sure it's best to live your 65+ "good" years in a certain way out of fear of being "alone" for the few "bad" years at the end. Not to say those who choose to have children are doing anything wrong... but I think those who have children just so they won't be alone in their 70's are probably making a mistake.
My plan is to have my name on a building, preferably a humane society or no kill shelter, that i donated along with an endowment to help fund operations. We'll see how it goes. Plan B is to bounce the check to the funeral home that is cremating me.
My GB Sbonomo does quite well, but not $3MM/mo on dining well. In finance (and many other worlds), M is thousand, and MM is million.
1. Nieces & nephews, I guess. Kinda don't care.
I have no idea why bankers use this but it is pretty standard across the board. I have done it so long seeing a K is weird to me.
Maybe when you are keying in a trade, but the common usage at both banks I have worked is: k, mm, B, and T. A lot of people use the m for millions too.
I was much more impressed when I thought you were spending $36 million/yr on dinner & wine.
Eh, I have more flower than I know what to do with, and I don't smoke. Figure that one out. Edibles every once in awhile. I've made some KILLER peanut butter cookies from ghee butter.
In the same ball park. Most of my friends have kids and while they love them there is always a "but" that we always get to hear about.
44, 2 kids in high school, another in college, married 15 years. This sounds like my life, except bars to watch games (prefer to watch at home, kids or no), walking instead of running, and traveling (replace that with travel sports instead).
I personally do not have that whole in my life that needs to be filled by a child.
Exactly. Lot of things in life are viewed differently by people.
Are you implying relationships/marriages without children are unhappy or unsuccessful?
Imagine thinking that not only are you fantastic, but your entire family is so fantastic that the bloodline MUST be carried on. IT MUST BE!seriously... WTF is that crap. Dude must be Platinum member of Ancestry.com.
Sounds like you're just doing regular crap that all of us do with kids though. I have to do all the stuff you mentioned or I'd go crazy.
It's cute that you think you know everyone's life. Guessing you're a younger fella... 20's? You have so much to learn, youngin'.
Why do you think everyone wants to have kids?
Or create a trust for my nieces to help them along if I can. 
i wish.
