Yeah. Year ago I decided to take my money (over $800 including all checkups and gas) and make myself childfree.

Did doctor asked me am I sure? Yes Do I regret it? Hell no!

I had an internal giggle when I saw smoke coming from where my balls are (since procedure was painless)

Sometimes people tell me it wasn't smart, but they have kids so I ignore them.

I really hate the thought of having children :)

I have a friend who did the same at that age. 10 years later, he and his partner have decided they want kids.

I’m glad that you are happy and sincerely hope that you and your future partners remain happy with this choice for the rest of your life.

For others of your age who might be considering the same, I must say that I do generally discourage making permanent life choices before full frontal lobe development. That is a tome of your life where you’re going through an incredible amount of change, your values and what you want in life might not be the at 21 and 26.

It's not a permanent life choice. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasectomy_reversal

While technically true, the massive financial barrier (at least in the US) can make it feel that way.

A successful reversal is not guaranteed and comes with a higher risk of complications.

In light of that, when you get a vasectomy your doctor will tell you to consider it as potentially permanent.
