Is 36/37 too old to have kids?

I know kids themselves don’t ruin your life but…. like I feel they trap you and you can’t do anything with them; they also waste all your money. I know you still can do enjoyable things but it’s so much more difficult. I want to travel, spend money on MYSELF, buy a house, have a good time with my bf, and have a stable and good paying job before I even THINK about having a child. I’m 22 now but just thinking about the future 😂

No, that's not too old, assuming you keep your body reasonably healthy. But if you want to be super-safe, have some of your eggs removed and frozen. It costs some money, but that keeps all your options open. At some point maybe your biological clock will "ring" and say "have babies now!" or maybe it won't. No need to rush things; you and your future partner will be better parents if you take some time to mature and fulfill your own needs.
