Is it better to have like a million kids to get more money?

Seems like getting a career you aren’t any better off nowadays

It's an interesting question. When I lived in Germany, I wondered why more people didn't do it there since you get monthly payments from the government for each child in addition to tax deductions and can even get your wages topped off, as well as other benefits. Sure, your lifestyle is going to be pretty austere, but it also is for lots of childless people. Once the kids grow up, some of them might be able to help you a bit financially. Always seemed to me to make more sense than relying on unsustainable old-age public pension systems.

How does having more kids mean you get more money? It may seem like you get more money, but most of your money is spent buying products for those kids. Just for nappies and my baby's formula, that's $67 right there alone. I just had to buy her bigger clothes as she went through a growth spurt overnight, and that cost me well over $100. Add on having to buy food for myself. Rent etc I'm lucky if I am left me $100 and I have to make that money last 2 weeks.

They bank it when they have 2 fathers paying child support or getting a divorce

If I apply for child support you know what I would get $50 a month so where do you get the idea people are better off? Everyday people who aren't celebrities aren't getting thousands in child support

You know that kids costs much more money than you can possible get from them?
