Am I dumb for having kids at age 38?

My wife (34 f) and I (37 m) have suddenly found ourselves having the kid conversation a lot after 12 years together as "childfree".

Being real, I can see us having kids in 18 months or so. I asked her to wait until this year wraps up before we start "trying" for kids.

I turn 38 in October.

I grew up where I got moved around a lot, parents split when I was 5, and then again when I was 16 (step dad and mom split that time). Divorce(s) sucked. I felt like an afterthought as a result of the blended families.

I never felt "stable" enough to have kids prior to this year.

We are not rich, but we are well set up at this point. Lots of equity in a nice house in a nice area. Low-six-figures in cash/GICs, mid-six figures invested in index funds. No debts outside of the mortgage. Two small dogs.

Originally, our plan was to pay off our house when our mortgage renews in December 2026 (hence all the cash/GICs). We have enough in cash/GICs and our TFSAs to pay off the house anytime, and in 2.5 years I imagine we could do it in cash without touching our TFSAs.

Kids change that, obviously.

Now I'm staring down the reality that the youngest I'll be if we have kids is 38. I don't want to be a geriatric dad, but I don't feel like I'm old? I already have back and neck issues, though.

I have friends with a 16 year old FFS!

Do I want to be 56 with an 18 year old?

Anyone have kids late that maybe can shed some perspective?

EDIT: Consensus is that this isn't old, it's more normal than I realized, and to go for it.

EDIT 2: Comments are coming in faster than my ability to respond! :)

EDIT 3: Okay, turned off notifications after the 700th comment. Still reading through them. Plenty on both sides of the fence, and more than one that has had some great insights to think through.

Hollywood legend Paul Newman was passionate about bringing joy to children so much so he established the ‘Hole in the Wall Gang’ camp in 1988 to give children with serious illnesses “to raise a little hell” and to bring a different kind of joy in their lives. What a true legend.

Is it just me, or is a part of Gen Z extremely homophobic and racist?

generation Z is supposed to be the most gay friendly generation out of all, but there is like a sort of subculture of traditionalist 15 year old boys who believe they were "born in the wrong generation" who insult gays and black boys on the internet. it's really disturbing and i've read some horribly nasty comments under posts by homosexual boys. they are such disgusting comments that i won't repeat. all i wonder is "why?" "is it just me who noticed this subculture or does it really exist?". as a bisexual boy i was bullied mostly by people from 2005-2009, almost exclusively by males. i wonder why it seems that people born between 1997 and 2003 instead are much more open-minded.

Remember when Red Lobster was fancy?

Last week, the multinational conglomerate that owns the corpse of Red Lobster unexpectedly closed dozens of restaurants across the country and this morning comes the news that they're filing for bankruptcy.

But, I remember when Red Lobster was pretty fancy for my area. My parents would get cocktails there in specialty glasses, candles burning on the table. If you went on a Saturday night in late April or early May, there'd be a bunch of kids in tuxes and gowns there as that was THE place to go before prom.

They're saying the "all you can eat" shrimp promo was the cause of death

Anyone else burnt out with this crazy world??

I feel so overworked, underpaid, and unmotivated. I noticed I’m starting to feel more cynical or nihilistic about the future of the world. Fears of never being able to own a home, retire, or have an abundance of wealth to achieve freedom. The cost of everything is way too high. Wages aren’t going up. Seems like morals are out the door with the over abundance of pornography and only fans. And I feel like the media sells millennials nostalgia because we crave a simpler time with less chaos. Anyone else feeling it?
