Out of curiosity, you did all that without having a family already? Just in case? That's pretty dedicated. 

Would it help you to become a volunteer for disadvantaged kids in your neighbourhood?

Yes. Started saving &amp; investing in high school.
Same reason why I studied before having a job. You need a base &amp; fundamentals on which to build a life, no?

In retrospect I guess it was “just in case”. At the time I didn’t want to worry or stress out when the time came: have a good foundation on which to provide a future family a comfortable life. 

Not sure it was dedicated… just saw it as prudent. Investing for the future.

I’m a man. A single man. Nobody let’s me near children unless I’m related to them or they’ve known me for years. 
There is a daycare I support financially two blocks from my flat. But sending a wire transfer once a month is “meh, just another expense”, not very fulfilling. I do try to visit my nephews as much as possible (live in different state) and neighbors will sometimes ask me to babysit once in a blue moon.
