This is some post I saw online and Iove it( image  below). Men should be courageous enough to make strong plans. Well, I dislike that the economy has made things become this way. My Grandpa was a locomotive driver and he was able to care for his 6 wives and 20+ children. That was possible because we had a better economy. Finally,  taking a bold steps into the unknown makes me want t try. This is something I want,  I will go all in.

I know someone who jumped into marriage because his age mates were getting married. A year later, they had a child, and the family became bigger. His small salary could not sustain the family, and he was running into serious debts. It got to a point he abandoned the family and ran away. My point is, do not read much into that motivational post. Look before you leap. Have something good going on for yourself before you embark on the journey. Raising a child can be quite expensive.
