Questions: Family & Friends

You would still have the stress and the sleepless nights and everything but you would know ahead of time you or your kids would never have to suffer because of financial problems. It doesn't mean unlimited money just a lifestyle that used to be normal like you rent a place and have 1 car maybe 2 if you live in the U. S. and you'll just be good no matter what comes up like healthcar costs or school or something gets damaged etc. You'll be fine but you won't live in luxury.

I just wanna see how many people just don't want kids in general or for how many it's a financial thing.

For me it's kinda hard to know. I'm still trying to develop and achieve goals so I don't feel like I want kids but if I was at a point where I felt like I've achieved what I want to and I'll be financially secure no matter what happens I might think about it. But I'm not sure.

I've been lucky to have avoided any major conflicts with my sister, but for the past 10+ years, we've lived completely separate lives. When she roomed at home during school and college for example, she wouldn't interact much with the family and spent a ton of time in her room. Fortunately, she was more well-adjusted than I was and frequently went out with friends. Part of me wishes we were closer. Is this a bad thing to wish for or should I honestly just leave her be?

(I imagine many of you with same sex siblings might be in a similar boat, so that's why I'm keeping it open).
