I pay way more in taxes than I spend on housing or education. I pay more in taxes every year than I paid for 4 years of college. So yeah, taxes are definitely a bigger consideration.

Congratulations! You really make a lot of money. Going by the averages, based on the information you shared, and assuming you live in the US, it’s likely that you make north of $300k per year.

Thanks for sharing that with us. Now we know that you are a member of the group that we are talking about here (the middle class and rich). Maybe you can shed some light on how members your demographic actually think about having children.

So, am I wrong? Are you avoiding fatherhood primarily because you pay too much in taxes to afford children?
