Plenty about the world has changed in the past few decades, but one of the starkest contrasts is how much later people are waiting to get married and have children of their own.
There are lots of smart people who have great theories on why that is, but I personally think that some of it is because of our parents – they were secure enough to raise us to not have to think about responsible stuff until we absolutely had to, so we kind of got a late start.
If you’re wondering what exactly I’m on about, these 10 pictures are great at illustrating the point.
10. They look like they knew how to have a good time.
