Having Kids in Your 40s + Why Housing Is Broken
Scott Galloway answers listener questions on why housing is unaffordable, regret after selling stock, becoming a parent in your 40s, starting a company with a parent, and parenting disagreements. His main housing argument is that it's a supply problem.
The gist
-
Galloway calls housing a supply problem, blaming homeowners who control permits and demand subsidies, and praises Austin and Minneapolis for dropping height and parking rules.
-
On regretting a stock sale, Galloway cites Adam Alter's research that dying people's top regret is being too hard on themselves.
-
Galloway, who had kids at 42 and 45, says older parents gain patience and economic security, and urges pursuing IVF or surrogacy.
-
Galloway advises keeping a loved job over a startup with dad, noting five to six of seven new businesses don't last seven or eight years.
-
On parenting disagreements, Galloway says he shares his view but defers to the mom on key decisions and focuses on being a supportive partner.
