It's a reason, not a cop out. Unless you don't believe in math. But I agree with you, why I didn't have kids, didn't want to pay for them!
under 6 figures
don't believe in math
I've lived well enough on $500/month for ~five years feeding two adults and two large dogs. I don't supposed adding a couple of children would make it that much more difficult, so long as I avoid jewish marketing schemes looking to make me buy useless shit they don't need.
Then again I guess most people don't know how to fix everything themselves, make their own shit, and budget well anymore.
Lol with 6 figures I could afford 15 kids. Love it when people reveal their poor money management skills.
And the more you have, the cheaper it is to raise them. Math doesn't change much so those books are only paid for once, lots of other hand-me-downs can be kept for a very long time if you know how to repair them. And at a certain point, you have extra hands to help!
Depends where you live and work. There's a lot of places where making six figures is more like making 70-80K after income taxes. And $500/month barely covers the cost utilities for me: power, heating, water, trash, minimal internet access, and bargain phone plans. Then you start adding up property taxes, sales taxes, health and car insurance, gas, car(s), etc.
If you don't have any debt, you can probably get by fine. But very very few can afford to buy a house in a decent neighborhood without getting a mortgage.
I agree. Maybe if you lived in NYC or SF this would be difficult, but not anywhere worth living. I've got 4 kids and make just under 6 figures and we have over 3k$ of disposable income after my two checks every month, that's after I pay all my bills, so money is not the issue, it's poor judgment.
Lol where tf you live? Thats my monthly budget. And i dont have a car.
Red state suburbs near a bunch of farmers.
But math is raycis!
