My idea would be that the pains one is prepared to bear would change over time. I’d guess that the willingness to take large risks is highest during adolescence (esp. for males).
But at least for me I can’t clearly see this trend. I’m 41 now and
a) my willingness to bear the pains of parenthood hasn’t changed—actually I’d rather bear it even more now.
b) I was never much of a risk-taker and this hasn’t changed much over time.
c) My willingness for infinite study hasn’t changed either.

But your mileage may vary.
