Why 30 is the decade friends disappear
I&#x27;m 39...so here is some perspective:<p>If you decide to have kids, you will sacrifice everything for your spouse and children, and have very little left for yourself.  It is totally worthwhile.  You will chose yourself and solitude over scrambling for friendship.<p>If you decide not to have kids, you will still be incredibly busy, however you won&#x27;t have access to your friends who do have children because of reasons outlined above.<p>I am in category A.  My ideal vacation involves going to a country alone where I don&#x27;t speak the language for two weeks.  The best part is coming home to my wife and kids.<p>Friendship becomes more rare as you age because your friendships don&#x27;t have the desperation of youth.  It was always rare to find people you truly relate to. When you get older, you almost don&#x27;t have the option of wasting your time with people you don&#x27;t relate to.  It&#x27;s awesome.
