Why would I be working until I am 80? My child will be 40 by then.

Many parents are having to support their adult child financially atm due to col crises. You might have to support child until they are 30, possibly their children. Ofc you don’t have to, but if you’re gonna have kids it’s your responsibility imho if they need you. So let’s just say you have to support them until they’re 30. Then you’re working until your at least 70 supporting you and your children. Will you for sure be able to retire even when they don’t need your help anymore? At 70 are you gonna be able to do all the things you could when you were 60? Etc etc. that’s not even considering the higher risks of complications (I.e. congenital diseases) that may occur for pregnancy &gt;40. 

Again if taking that into consideration you are still extremely happy with that choice then by all means. I’m just saying that people should not say “do it anyways!!!” Without considering other options like adopting or just taking that money and creating more experiences to bond with the kids you already have (step kids)
