[quote=Anonymous]Neither of us has ever made $100k and some years, a lot less. Could we afford to have kids? No! Have two anyway. Expanded Medicaid in Maryland has, literally, a lifesaver. I know the taxes are tough on richer people, but I am thankful for the several layers of safety net where I live. Our parents had kids before they had the financial resources that would have been prudent. A big thing for them was that they were confident (correctly as it turned out) that their finances would improve over time and they would be OK. I listen to my nieces and nephews and they seem not so optimistic - they aren't having kids without a strong financial and relationship footing, which may mean never.[/quote]
