 Have a house ✅
Fly first class ✅
Hopefully have a kid soon 🙏 
 The idea of trading a seat in first class for childlessness is so absurd not just because it's a false choice (obviously) but because it's like saying I want to lease a bugatti instead of having friends, only much worse. 
 Ivan, please my man, have a kid have many kids. I only have one and I wish I started younger and had more.  It's the most incredible purpose-giving thing. 
 Yup we been trying for a little while now. It will happen I have faith.  I wish I did have kids way younger now as well. 
 Ya, but trying has its own immediate benefits.  If it takes a while, try not to let it stress you out, I know it's easy to say, but people can get down on themselves, especially the wives, if it takes a while.  And it's good to remember that it's not in our hands in some sense..and if it comes to it there are medical interventions that have come so far. 
 Yea its not been easy especially for her but I am always telling her to have faith it's going happen and that plenty people have gone through the same and have had kids. Also like you said there is a lot of options now medically to  help. Which we will go that route later this year if nothing happens by then.  Its something becoming very common lately because a lot of people held off having kids while young. 
 It's a bummer that people aren't trying younger.  Obviously a big topic, but as someone who has been trying to get his own faith back fwiw, I'll keep you and yours in my attempted prayers.
