I can’t complain too much, because I usually end each month with a couple hundred in pocket money, but one of the primary reasons I don’t have kids is cause there’s no way in hell I’m going to afford it. The $200ish a month that I waste on weed and video games are not going to afford diapers and daycare.
Yeah, it’s not really that much, but it’s precisely for that reason that I know after paying for my own necessities, I can’t afford mini-mes. And let’s not even get started on the emotional baggage I picked up in childhood that keeps me convinced to this day it’s best to just not perpetuate a negative cycle my family seems stuck in.
You guys have expendable income?
