Welcome to the WSO weekly wrap-up, where I talk with my team about the five most

trending discussions in the Wall Street Oasis community. Enjoy. All right, everybody, welcome to

another episode of the weekly, what is this again? The weekly wrap-up. What do we call this?

The weekly wrap-up. The weekly wrap up. What do we call this? The weekly wrap up. The weekly wrap up. We got three top topics that are trending. A little more fun this week. Matt, take it away. Sure. So first one we see here, this one's, I guess, right up our alley here being a younger crew of guys. You know, we got a season event with Pat to give give us the insight here but first one trending is getting married young is that the best uh so we'll kick it off here pat obviously you're married a little bit older than us uh how's the married life treating me what's what's your two cents if you could go back to be 20 what's uh would you do it all over again um well i got married later so i got married when i was like 31 so it's a little

bit i i don't know if i'd agree getting married young is is the best um because i guess

you got to set what's young what's not young i think we got to set the that's how we start the

i think you really anything 20 to 25 you know before 25 i think is pretty young to get married. I think most people

would agree with that. And then 25 to, or 26 to like 30 is still a little bit on the young side,

but pretty standard. And then I think you get over 30. It's starting to get a little bit above

average. And then after 35 is kind of waiting a while, right? But some people get married in

their 40s, 50s, doesn't have to. I think that's the thing that I'd say is like, is it best?

It could be best for certain people based on personality, right? Just based on personality.

Because some people are super mature and they know themselves really well in their young 20s.

Other people don't really know what they want. They want to date more people, figure out the type of person that's compatible with them. And they're changing. Yeah. So what do you guys? Yeah. I mean, for me, it's a very complex question just because, for instance, there's pros and cons. Obviously, it depends how you look at it, right? You get married young.

Does that also until like starting a family young? If so, then you're probably the way I see it is sign a ways that not the right term. You're foregoing a lot of free time early on in your life that you're hoping to get back in the back half, right? So if you have kids a little bit younger and have a family a little bit younger,

getting married, then naturally maybe when you're hoping to get back in the back half, right? So if you have kids a little bit younger and have a family a little bit younger, getting married, then naturally maybe when you're 55, you have much more freedom as opposed to someone than maybe waiting until they're 60, 65, right? So I think you have to factor that and take then your career into perspective too. Obviously, if you're starting young, you're going to have to put that time there. So do you have enough time to do like the 70, 80 hour work weeks in investment banking.

So there's a lot to it. I think though on like a personal perspective, to your point, Pat, yes,

changing so much. Give your age as guys. So people know, so I'm 43. I've been married for a decade.

And it's Matt is, Matt it's 29 never married but yes in a relationship but

nonetheless yeah I'm like 25 going to 10 26 oh we got a good spread here so it's like yeah so so yeah

for me at least I've recognized like you know those initial, those initial years, like, 22, 23, comparing that mindset to now, I think, like, I'm a completely different person, even just on my outlook, the way I treat myself, people around me. So I think to the point here when we were kind of prepping for this conversation, there's a lot of development that you're not even recognizing. You won't be able to see it until you look back like five years, right? You don't see it when you're going through those years, 23, 24, 25 that you're changing much. Yeah, I mean, he's just turned 18. He thinks he's, uh, he knows exactly who he is. But that thing, you won't, you don't recognize that until I think you look back. And for whatever

reason, there's like this, there's this, the way I see it for me, it's like this, it's like, this hump you get over where it's like you look back and you do see the changes. But the, the, the little asterisk I put on that is I feel like that is a feeling that we have our whole life. So the same way, but I feel like you probably look back in your 30s and be like, you know,
