[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the hell do you expect?

Wages don't grow.  Housing is completely unaffordable.  Childcare costs are insane.  Healthcare is ludicrous.  Even if you had kids, stupid minivan to haul them around to soccer practice now costs $40k.  And don't even talk about college costs....

You want to die in poverty?  Have a kid.

Younger generations didn't create these problems. They're the ones that have to live with them though. The only solution is to not have kids just so that you can keep your financial head above water.  [/quote]

It's not money, it's decades of Hollywood and feminist propaganda. It's "cool" and "sophisticated" and "worldly" to piss away your prime fertility years living in the big city and traveling and waiting two hours to be seated for a hip brunch and rising the ladder at your make-work career, so you can piss more money away on shoes, travel, and instagram-worthy furniture. #GirlBoss #LeanIn[/quote]

Sounds like more fun than sitting at home with a house full of babies like my grandmother. Also I like owning my own house and having my own retirement portfolio. You do you, Dugger.[/quote]

I know dozens of college-educated young mothers with professional careers who weren't duped by the propaganda. Sorry you were.[/quote]

Duped by propoganda into what, exactly? Buying a house? Having kids after 30? I did both of those things and am pretty happy with my life. Personally, I feel sorry for young women who are pressured by family or their religious background into marrying super young and having kids before 25. They're the ones who never got a chance to see much of the world.[/quote]
