If you crunch the numbers there is actually zero reason to ever have children unless you're some sort of weird nationalist who wants to preserve your superior Aryan genes or brainwash them into your religious cult or maybe just like having little versions of you that you can legally yell at and order around

It doesn’t really matter what the financial logic is because most people who care about where there money is probably won’t have kids or have been saving for them and all the people who can’t afford kids already started churning them out in this early 20s consequences be damned. I know that reads like an r/childfree or whatever post but it’s not wrong.

Given the likely education my kid would have access to and my current financial outlook, I'd consider it a form of child abuse to have a kid.

If you have already set your personal and professional life in order and make great money, and have already travelled and explored hobbies with your partner to your heart’s content, and you don’t mind having to shell out a loving fortune for daycare and health insurance and maybe private school depending on the shittiness of the district, and you don’t mind having to hire a babysitter each and every time you want to go anywhere at night, and you can afford to contribute to both your own retirement (so your kid doesn’t end up having to take care of you or stick you in a poo poo state home) and the kid’s college fund (so the kid doesn’t start adult life tens of thousands in debt), then sure, have the kid.

I'm glad I had kids, they're cool and fun. And if a load of goons want to pretend that the reason they don't have kids is because they have amazing lives and loads of money and fun times, when in reality they're watching Netflix in their underwear eating microwave food, alone, wondering why no-one loves them: great, fewer offspring in the next generation for my genetic spawn to compete against.

I want kids at some point but at 32 I figure my game plan is to get more money and then marry somebody 6-8 years younger when I get to 40. I've got a good track record right now with 20-somethings so I figure I'll be just as good at 30-somethings later on. It may be a terrible plan or it could be brilliant I don't really know.

Actually i'm porking a lot of women and I couldn't do that if I had to take care of a babby I wanna keep porking women for at least another few years before I give up my life as a man and get a kid that I have to take care of for the rest of what little time I have left before I'm old and grey

I'm the same: I'm 32 and want kids at some point, but I'm not in a place right now I can start a family. I hope by the time I'm in my 40's I can have kids. That would mean they'd be in their 20s when I'm in my 60s, and that sounds fine to me. It's just sad because my parents likely won't meet their grandkids.

I had twins at 38 (wife was 27) and I can't think of a better way to do it. I've traveled, had fast cars (still have my 3 motorcycles), have a nice house with nice stuff and my wife and I both have good jobs. I get to spend the entire summer with them going to the park, reading to them, coloring riding tricycles, powerwheels, etc. Or, I could have had kids at 17, raised them in a roach-infested apartment on WIC and Obamacare, divorced/split with their mother and today they'd be retard adults and probably already spent time in the slammer.

My grandad was 55 when my dad was born. He was 18 years older than his wife though, so I guess that helps.

With climate change being a thing I don't want kids because I'm honestly not sure what the standard of living will be like them. Pretty sure grandkids would be hosed.

Totally this--the forums in general are really hostile to children. I think a lot of people are oddly defensive about it, even though nobody who has kids gives a poo poo if you decide to have kids or not.

I don't think wanting kids, in the abstract, requires justification. It's the most basic biological impulse there is.

I know, I was half trolling. I just didn't like the implication that because people choose not to have kids for any reason they are literally 'hostile' to them directly or some poo poo. That's a dumb notion. I can say I think the idea of having kids sounds like an awful experience without meaning "I will approach you and your child in public and insult you both"

You guys saying it's cool and good to be a bachelor manchild until your forties and then marry someone who was born when you were a teenager are kinda gross imo. Like maybe you've sown your wild oats or whatever and are ready to be a family man, but it sort of sounds like you're just dicking around while you run out the biological clock. Marrying someone who will probably outlive you by twenty years seems kinda hosed up and it's probably bad for a marriage to have one partner be "old" while the other is barely middle aged. Personally, I'd like to live long enough to get to know my grandkids, but it's nice to know goons have hacked the Gibson and found one weird trick to get away with wasting your youth. Lord knows I might change my tune if I keep loving up long enough.
