[quote=Anonymous]The baby maker in our family (me) is also the higher paid spouse. So one and done it was. The recession hit millennials right as they were getting out of grad school and college, not a coincidence. We got totally screwed. We did buy our first homes with super low interest rates though. I wish we had been able to afford a second child back in 2012, but we were dual gs-12s and austerity policies meant no raises for years. Childcare for two was out of reach, there was no maternity leave, and no telework. Younger millennials may have had more choices but we really didn’t. I could have another now, but I’m 40 and my first is in middle school. No way. Planning for college now.[/quote]
