[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my parents generation, middle class people didn't want to marry or have kids until they were financial stable and on their way. They would get a good job, then marry and buy a starter house/apartment they could afford where they would want to raise a family, then start to have kids.

Today, many people are not financial stable like that until their 30s.[/quote]

This is the issue.

I waited until I was married and financially stable-- then couldn't have kids.

My parents were married and financially stable and owned a house by the time they were 25. [/quote]

But that’s the thing- if you have kids before you’re financially stable you won’t be able to make it. No way could I have saved for a house once I started daycare payments. And I couldn’t have been able to afford daycare without busting my butt in my 20s. And once elementary school starts then shit really hits the fan. Only the wealthy can afford all the random days off, huge summers and the 6 hours of school a day. Life is not set up for children [/quote]
