I didn't learn this lesson till I was 31.

The 20's are full of emotional turmoil.

My best advice to people in their 20's is:

Be thoughtful about the decisions you make, because they can affect your entire life.

Having babies is very troublesome for young people, because it is easy for them to walk away from the child and mate. Then the state owns your *** for the rest of your life.

If you do have a child and find you can't live with the person you had the child with, it would be better to be roomates for 18 years than to pay child support for the rest of your life.

I know a guy who has 4 kids with 4 different woman and is not married.

He has to commit fraud to survive by working under the table.
No place wants to hire him because of all the child support paperwork
they would have to do.

He can't find a woman that will keep him because he can't make enough money to pay child support and a support a new family.

He's 51 and hating life.
