💬 "It sounds like y'all are all in violent agreement and wanna have orgasms all day long. Financial ones, of course." - Grant Cardone

💬 "We still have to get rid of this 4 million coins priced below a thousand bucks. Until that gets confronted, this market's gonna be like this." - Gary Cardone

💬 "If you're gonna play in this space, you gotta realize you're playing a 200-300 vol space." - Grain of Salt

Is there a "right" age to have kids? Or are we overthinking the most natural thing humans do?

🔵 Kids Under 40: Gary Cardone & Eric Rice (The Rice Report)

🔴 No Kids Under 40: Dustin Stockman & Hodel Jay

Should you wait until you're financially established to have children, or does having kids young build character for both parent and child?

• Why 45% of pregnancies in America are unplanned

• The financial reality of raising kids at different ages

• How watching parents struggle shapes resilient children

• America's birth rate crisis (1.84 vs the 2.1 needed to sustain culture)

• Why marriage rates keep declining and divorce rates keep climbing

• The "Peter Pan syndrome" plaguing modern men

• Gary's raw take on divorce, custody battles, and spending millions to keep his kids

• Eric's perspective: "Live your life like you want your eulogy read"

All four panelists agreed: there's no perfect age. What matters is intention, preparation, and choosing the right partner. Kids don't need perfect parents. They need present ones who let them see the struggle and the triumph.
