Married, wife and kids. This is critical.
Certainly being married and having to negotiate with another human being difficult, but in the end, it makes life 1 trillion times better.
My theory on why modern day millennials are so miserable — no desired values to get married, have a wife and kids? Ideally at least one male heir.
