I would probably, in my 60s, be ready to start having kids, as long as I was spared all the stuff about it that doesn't appeal to me. By then, I'd have lost interest in practically everything, so there'd be no opportunity cost involved.
This quote reflects a humorous and somewhat cynical outlook on life and parenthood. The speaker considers the idea of starting a family later in life but tempers it with the notion of avoiding the inconveniences and responsibilities that typically accompany raising children. It highlights a resigning attitude toward aging, suggesting that the willingness to pursue certain life goals might only emerge when one's interests and motivations have waned, reducing the perceived costs. The tone invites reflection on how priorities shift over time and how timing can influence life choices, often colored by practicality and a sense of detachment.
