[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the spinsters on dcum, squandering away your 20s and 30s on two rents and two sets of bills and boozing the weekend away at brunch while your fertility withers away, is wiser than [b]marrying after college, buying a house with your husband[/b], and having children when you don't need scientists and $50,000 in ivf lab bills. Because, based on absolutely nothing, your career will suffer and your healthy children will be worse off with young energetic parents. Some of you are living in the 50s era mentality. It's 2022, nobody can fire you for getting pregnant. Many employers offer free child care and all employers are going to pay you and your husband's maternity/paternity leave. And if anything, you're more likely to seek out and connect with bosses who can give you promotions when you're married with kids.[/quote] How exactly did you "buy a house" out of college when you were so busy pumping out spawn? [/quote] Savings + wedding gifts. Look at how housing costs have exploded. The 30-somethings who waited have to spend hundreds and hundreds of thousands more for the same house their peers who married younger purchased 10 years ago.[/quote] Savings from what? You had just started working. How did you pay for a house [u]and[/u] daycare? Not much free daycare 20+ years ago. The people who have the best real estate investments now started off buying when they were single and then upgrading and/or accumulating more properties along the way. They had money to invest in real estate early on because they weren't shelling out money for daycare, diapers, etc. [/quote]
