"5yrs-10yrs later your opinion will change especially when you see your mate who are successful after getting married and have kids when struggling. We always gossip about some of our friends who impregnated ladies back then but now, some own houses and traveling out of the country. The key is the right partner, if you have the right woman by side you and very intentional with your moves, you’re going to be successful and see your kids has your blessings."
