I agree

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

how old am I?

20-25. At least I hope so. If you’re older than that and worried about likes on a message board then I’d be worried.

 

[LittleVol]

youre welcome for the content

Thank you for that.

You're still annoying.

They've been on here since 2012 when I joined. I lost a bunch of likes when the the new site was published a couple of years ago.

Those likes were probably taken away because they were undeserved. I kept all of mine because, they were well earned and deserved.

Yours are mostly sympathy likes so you're probably correct.

You should know all about them sympathy likes. I just gave you another.

I wish my son and DIL would get on with it. I want a grandchild before I'm too old to pick it up, much less play with it.

My parents bring up all the time that they had me when they were my age. I just can’t afford to have a kid. Most people my age are probably in the same boat. It’s too expensive now.

This, im at that age where it would be under consideration, but have no intention to. Its too damn expensive.

How is it expensive when the government is paying you $500 per kid a month?

That barely covers daycare

Lmao...you must not have any kids

 

[VFL10]

Yeah I was halfway joking but if you don’t have daycare to worry about, it’s never been cheaper

If you wait until you can afford them you will be too old to play with them.

 

[VFL10]

I do and I see a lot of them running around in the wild so it must not be to bad

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Also...it's not $500 a kid per month...it's either 250 or 300 depending on the age.

Not that it matters but I watched a video on it. Apparently in the 70s they had massive inflation which changed the dynamic of being able to support a family on one salary.

I guess it makes sense though because my grandfather worked on the railroads(blue collar) and my grandmother was always a stay at home mom. They raised four boys and never did without. Not that simple these days.

I don't know your situation, but I don't think in general it's any more expensive. My friends all say "you have to buy them a cell phone and pay for travel baseball and competitive gymnastics and buy them brand new clothes, I just can't afford a kid."

Not saying you're saying that, but typically when people say kids are too expensive, they mean keeping up with the Joneses while raising a kid is too expensive. Goodwill clothes and rec league soccer and not buying them a cell phone is a perfectly acceptable way to parent, the only things that have gotten more expensive are society's expectations of how much parents should buy their kids.

In the 90s my dad was a restaurant manager and my mom stayed at home. They raised 5 kids. It's really not as expensive as some people make it sound. Our minimum standard has gone up more than salaries, not the price of essentials.

Ok man. The amount of wealth accrued in this Country during 90's was staggering...

Until the Corporate Tax cuts in recent memory.

That's the problem, the trickle doesnt trickle when theres no trickle.

It doesn't have a dang thing to do with that sorry excuse, young people these days are just immature and selfish...they want to play at life, they don't want the responsibility of children.

Data doesn't support this. Simply look at the ratio between median salary and cost of housing, automobiles, etc. from the 70s through the 90s vs. today.
