[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]

Not my problem.  Boomers shouldn’t have made college cost $200k+ and housing cost 7-8x a typical household income.

We are just living in the world boomers and older generations made.  Saddling people with decades of student loan debt and insurmountable housing costs.

And now they have the gall to complain that millennials don’t have kids.   Maybe you shouldn’t have f’d up the country for generations after you for starters.  [/quote]

speak for yourself. My life is great as a millennial parent.

there are plenty of millennials with a nice home, maxing retirement + more, multiple kids, daycare, etc.

There are plenty of paths to financial security - kids or not. Choose wisely.[/quote]

I can guarantee you the vast, vaaaaaaast majority of millennials cannot max out their retirement accounts with kids.

You live in a delusional DCUM bubble.  Probably a beneficiary of mommy and daddy money too. [/quote]
