We only had two kids because we’re mostly financial independent in our 30s from choices I made in my 20s.

Had we not been well off, I would’ve gotten snipped before the first kid. $500 versus hundreds of thousands of dollars per kid is a no brainer (sidenote: cryopreserve some tissue before you do this, it’s only $1500-$2000 and gives you options in the future).

America is designed for extraction, not nurturing the future. We’re bouncing to Oceania (AUS and Taz specifically) in the future (universal healthcare).

TLDR Don’t have kids unless you’re rich or you can live somewhere that values you having them, or just values people in general.
