About the Quote
For many things in life-- even the most important such as being a spouse or a parent (or both)-- the best time to become one is now. If we wait for perfect conditions, such as a better-paying job, or acquiring some big-ticket item, or moving to a new locale, there is a very good chance we will never do the thing we say we want to do.
In this sense, life is like financial markets: the time to enter a market is always now. It may suck to pay USD 70K/BTC or USD 4K/ETH, but if we wait for prices to drop they may fall in such a way that we never see those prices again for nearly a decade. This is what happened with the price of 1 troy ounce of gold when it reached USD 1900/ozT in 2011. So we enter the market at whatever price, then we take the hit on losses in the bear market portion of the market cycle with the expectation that the bull market portion of the market cycle. Along the way we stack during the bear market so that whatever losses we incurred are more than recovered when the buls return.
There is no perfect time for us to do anything, especially the major things in life. So we proceed as best as we can and make adjustments over time.
