Correct. My wife and I make over 125k a year and struggle financially with our 2 kids. Now, we aren't eating ramen noodles or dog food but I laugh when I here dumbasses say "If you can't afford em, don't have em". Get a clue. Kids are expensive as shite. Most of us pay more in taxes on formula and diapers in 1 year than these little shite sippers not having kids spouting this nonsense do in 10 years.

This is the way of the United States...it is the largest part of the American dream...having a family even though it means struggling and sacrificing. And what do we get for our trouble? About 8 and maybe 10 years of undying love and devotion and then the little shits move out and won't even answer the damn phone when you call to see about the grandkids....unless they need something LOL.

It is good advice to wait until you can afford kids the problem is that most people are no longer fertile or even sexually active by the time they have enough job experience to be earning enough to "afford" a kid...the species would cease to exist if we relied on rationale and logic to have kids because it is irrational and illogical to the point of absurdity to do so...


This is one are where we differ from other animals. In times of food shortages and drought most animals will not breed as readily as they will in time of plenty...and most daddy's outside of humans will devour their kids under ideal circumstances....let there be a lack of food and water and all of a sudden the baby is the quickest solution to the first item on that list! Our higher brains do not allow for this, thank God, and so we are faced with having to raise the little buggers no matter how bad times get....and to do so for at least 6 or so years because even under the most horrific of circumstances baby humans are not able to survive on their own before they are 6 or so or at least old enough to work the fricking remote control on their own!
