What title saysSame, 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.

unless oneIn my opinion, the minimum salary before you can have a baby is well off himselfmaking at least 3x of minimum salary in your country. 1x minimum salary for one should not be having kidsperson, this is my opinionso the other 2x for a spouse and a baby.

What aboutBut, 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.
Children are blessings from God and don't be self centered because assuming your parent thought like this, they wouldn't have given birth to you and you wouldn't exist. Life is all about planning and staying positive.

Sometimes, having kids will motivate you to think outside the box and look for other means to increase your income because you already have a responsibility to take care of. If you feel that because of family responsibilities that you are scared of and refuse to get married, it means that you are not a man enough. One child is enough.
