Same, but as I keep working hard and make myself well off, it drives me away to have kids because I keep thinking how to make my life better.
In my opinion, the minimum salary before you can have a baby is making at least 3x of minimum salary in your country. 1x minimum salary for one person, so the other 2x for a spouse and a baby.
But, with such amount you can only live minimum, you can't enjoy your life because you keep thinking to save money for your kids needs in the future. Either you or your spouse will want the best for your kids, hence you can't save money when you have a family.
Example you have $20,000 and your kids will enter school, you have two options: public school or private school. Public school is free, private school have 3 tiers, the lowest tier you need to spend $5,000 that cover everything, middle tier cost you $15,000 and the highest tier cost you $30,000.
People will choose the middle tier because they can afford rather than thinking to grow their wealth.
Not many people said this, personally I think marriage is a big scam.
I agree. Life is hard enough as it is, so what is the point in having children, which demand enormous
amountamounts of time and money? Or even marrying, which will only stress you out emotionally and leave you a total mess in the end?
People are driven by their parents/grandparents selfishly demanding that
youthey marry and have children. And your own body's biology betrays you by making you attracted to the opposite sex and have offspring.
I want to live life for myself, not for the "colony". I am not an ant.
