  15. this has been said too many tims but cost of living is going up but income rates are not going up as fast. so we're operating on deficits all the time.

  16.  @beesteezy3626  im not talking about people that are still consuming beyond their means but there are legitimate concerns about the inflation is casuing goods and services to go up so fast that no amount of budgeting and savings could offset it short of having large windfalls

  23. basically the morale of the story is you should be able to support and pay for the kids and provide the kids at least a reasonable standard of living and safety without having to be a financial burden on the state.

  24. in the past having kids was a retirement plan for people. there was no government social safety net in teh past and poor people pretty much even if they're having kids pay for their kids or with help from friends/relatives family etc but it was a self contained thing. also people were used to a lower standard of living. in addition under agrarian societies having kids will help make you money with their labor. so up until the industrialization era having kids made sense. also with lower life expectancies and higher mortality rates having kids also made sense. so basically in the past everything kind of worked in tandem to make having kids a no brianer and made sense. but up until industrialization and urbanization the reasons to have kids started to make less and less sense. that's history lesson for today. reality is if people 2000 years ago had our standard of living and life expectancies today... the birth rates would've have cratered long ago. if you look at hte chart of fertility rates in the last 50 years alone.. it's been trending down
