As one of the guys going through this at the moment I should probably put in my 2 cents

I'm sure a lot of my thoughts mirror those that have posted before me, but the biggest thing for me has been the imminent arrival of my baby girl.
One night I was lying in bed mulling over the thought of all the credit card debt, the personal loans we'd amassed, and the little one we would be bringing into the midst of it all and a strange phenomenon swept over me. All of a sudden I felt like nothing else mattered and that I had to get my life sorted no matter the cost.

Then there's the time factor, I just feel like I don't have enough hours in the day anymore, and the baby isn't even here yet! Many of the wonderful figures that I would've wanted to transform immediately in years past still remain sealed and it really saddens me that I'm not getting enjoyment out of them anymore. On the odd chance I do get to open one, 9 times out of 10 I feel ripped off by the quality and size of the figure, but I've whinged about that enough in other threads

Maybe this pressure is something that just comes with growing up, as my wife and I are a young-ish pair of newlyweds. Though I know a lot of you fine gentlemen have done the kids thing and kept up with your hobbies for all these years... seriously I have to hand it to you, good job
