[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None.  We are DINKS.  Love it.  We get to live 100% debt free.  Will retire abroad at 51.  Kids drain your bank account and savings.  How many people in this region are overstretching on their mortgage payments just so they can send to their kids to the GOOD schools in MoCo rather than the ones in say Wheaton or Hyattsville?  If you don't have kids you can give 0 craps about schools and having to overpay for a home.  'I don't want to die alone!' .....meh.  Bad excuse.  I actually DO want to die alone and in peace.  Everyone thinks kids are fantastic.  I've known families in this area who make close to $1 million per year who have given their kids every single opportunity in the book, yet the devolve into losers who sling drugs and end up robbing banks.  There is no guarantee at all that if you have a kid that and raise them right with opportunity that they'll still turn out OK.

Too much risk.  I love being a DINK with 0 debt and only have to worry about myself.[/quote]

Good for you but i question why you answering a question on a parenting board then.  Op has the kids already so it is a moot point.

Btw, you should care about education because you want the kids who are going to take care of you and society to be well educated and productive members of society.

Look at europe with the high unemployment.  You may be doinv well but in unless you ate living on a seculed island others will affect your life

The US already has the world's best universities. I don't think that just because the PP doesn't want kids, that she or he is dooming society. Get over yourself.[/quote]
