I guess the reasons PG and co recommend youung-uns are mainly:

1) Energy (physical, I guess) 2) No serious financial obligations 3) No family obligations.

I think #2 is probably the biggest. However, if you are older and have no debt/mortgage, plenty of everything, they why not. #3 you can't do anything about really, but as long as you don't mess with #2, the #3's in your house won't be too upset.

Also having kids teaches you to sleep efficiently and economically (you sleep when you can).

I find it fascinating to watch startups, I think its an awesome thing to do.
