[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are millennial DINKs. Couldn't be happier.  Own a home. Max out retirement accounts. Take multiple trips per year. Have very little debt except a mortgage. Sleep until 10 AM on the weekends.

Kids ruin everything.  I paid $85k off in student loans. I will absolutely NEVER pay another college bill again in my life. F that.  Then they gouge the crap outta you for $3000-4000 per mo for childcare. Ridiculous.  There's also no guarantee your kid won't turn out to be a F up even if you raise them right.  I know so many kids raised in good homes who ended up becoming opioid addicts, so one robbed a bank, and others popping out kids out of wedlock by the time they're 21.  The worst ones are kids who get into serious trouble and the parents blow their entire life's savings on legal fees or rehab to save their precious little Hunter or Emily.

Nope, nope, nope.  Finally getting ahead in life because of no kids. [/quote]

Perspectives like this are the problem. This is just sad. [/quote]

Says the person who probably grew up with Mommy and daddy money paying for college and a down payment for their first home. And from someone who probably never had significant job loss after 2008 or during COVID.

Life is easy when you have mommy and daddy money and no set backs ever, ain't it. [/quote]

I will forever fail to understand why people think this is some sort of insult or "gotcha!"[/quote]

Because it is a lot easier to have kids when you have all the mommy and daddy money to pay for all of your college and a downpayment on a first home.  You've never been bogged down by 15+ years of student loan payments, job loss, and trying to scrape together what you can for years for a downpayment on a home only to see the system double the price of homes and corporations buy whatever is left of affordable housing stock.

Congrats, your the poster child for our of touch DCUM posters rampant on this site. [/quote]

K then just say you aren’t having kids because of finances and the economy (a reasonable perspective) instead of some nutty rant about how you might raise a drug addict. [/quote]

PP seems nuts.

Life isn't against you. Grow up or keep playing video games and sleeping in until 10am. At some point you'll wake up and realize you are on an island.

This area is expensive and hard, go move to the midwest or south and start a family if you can't cut it here. Stop blaming the world though.

I’ll take the island please.  😴😴😴😴[/quote]
