[quote=Anonymous]It’s all a bunch of miserable s#%!.

People on the teen forum can’t understand why there is such stiff competition in every aspect of life for their kids.

The reason why is because it costs a ton of money to have a reasonably comfortable life. Everyone is competing for the scarce resources of what it takes to have what we all want, but only 10-15% are going to get.

Having babies in the main economic hubs on the coasts (NYC, Boston, DC, LA, etc.) is a mega cash outlay. Just light money on fire!

People don’t have children sooner not because they don’t want them, but because they can’t afford them. They don’t have the cash flow during those years of education and training. Programs for the poor do nothing for the young educated middle class trying to make their way.

Why is the limit for dependent care savings accounts so low? Daycare was $2,600/month when I left Bethesda a few years ago. Why is there NOTHING that society is doing to help the middle class with huge childcare expenses? Why isn’t there a sliding scale as to the income level that “deserves help” based on where you live? It infuriates me when things are based on national averages. As though if I could afford childcare in Oklahoma, then I must be fine in DC?! Um, no.

Our entire society is screwed up in so many ways. [/quote]
