Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 2859458, member: 8190"] Like I said, kids are a choice. For instance I don't want any for the foreseeable future because I'm time-selfish. I don't like having obligations. Putting aside any natural instinct or desire to reproduce, kids are the biggest financial decision of your life. Don't come crying that you can't afford to live when you know how much kids can cost. I can also say that my family was exactly your example growing up (bar major tertiary costs) We all played sport and were rarely denied anything growing up. Dad worked the same job he has now (edging to maybe 55k take home now. No doubt a lot less 30 years ago when my sister was first born) and mum stayed at home with us kids until I was in upper primary school - roughly 17 years as I was youngest. There was a time when we 18 cents to our name and still under mortgage. It's doable. Hard, but doable. Obviously I understand the cost of living has gotten to ridiculous levels since the 80/90s and has outpaced wage increases for most people, but my point still stands. [/QUOTE]
