First of all, its all about perspective and OBVIOUSLY you have a very jaded perspective on family, marriage and kids. You're not alone, a lot of people feel this way and its often due to growing up in a dysfunctional family atmosphere with unhappy parents. I'll start with your first premise on the college degree and job. If you determine before even entering college what you're passionate about as a person, and what YOU value, NOT what society thinks you should value, then you can get an exciting degree which will allow you to get a good paying job doing something you ACTUALLY LOVE DOING (I have this). Of course working 9 to 5 behind a desk and a cubicle isn't attractive or alluring to ANYBODY, but it doesn't have to be that way. As far as a home and mortgage, people become "trapped" as you say in this regard when they purchase a home and mortgage that's ABOVE their means. If you (and your spouse) make enough money to pay your mortgage every month on time, all other bills, go out and have fun/entertainment, take regular vacations AND still bank some for the future, then how is a mortgage trapping you? And as far as children, if you see them as financial obligations, rather than and extension of the love you have for your spouse, and extra people in your life to love, then either you're really young, or you're just not the parenting type (and that's ok because not everyone is). And if you and your wife earn a decent living and budget properly, it will reduce the arguments over finances significantly. My wife and I RARELY argue over money. I know the life you consider "ho hum" isn't for everyone, but you've essentially reduced every positive thing about that life into a negative. I don't know what you consider a better or more exciting life but lets say for instance yours is traveling all over the world, dating many different women and never settling down and never having kids. Sounds fun huh? But how about the fact that you'll NEVER feel grounded or like you have a place that's your own. You'll never have that special person in your life that you can share your hopes, dreams, goals, joys, pains and fears with. In fact, you can't even count on that person to really be there for you AT ALL when you need them most because they aren't "yours". You won't have the joy of watching a baby you've created grow, kiss your cheek and tell you they love you, learn to tie their shoes, read, write, ride a bike, go on their first date, go to high school prom, get married and start their own life. You see how I quickly made the alternative look just as bad as the picture you've painted? Its all about perspective and what YOU as an individual value in life.
