myth: babies are super expensive

reality: some mothers of babies are super expensive

Seen it a million times,

Probably 80% of guys who went from broke to rich overnight, usually via startup acquisitions, had nearly identical stories about a sudden extreme flip in their girlfriend’s behavior

Not talk gold-digger types, but rather usually opposite, plenty whose girlfriends were super independent types with their own careers, who would swear up and down that they didn’t care how much money the guy had

In nearly every case, nearly all were on the verge of breaking, or already broken up with the guy, being increasingly annoying to the extreme and making the guy’s life hell

…until the acquisition hits, and then suddenly the suddenly like clockwork the same women would completely flip, suddenly begging the guys to get married, suddenly out of nowhere doing all kinds of trad wife stuff the guy never asked for at all, suddenly begging for kids right now

Directly experienced it 2x myself, seen it dozens of times with guys I’d worked with, in a couple places I’d worked at which had acquired many startups

Coach Bruce’s comical story is wildly true beyond what you’d ever believe, until you see it yourself
