Search Results: importance of money

I'm not here to discourage anyone from marriage and kids. If you desire either, I'd urge you to turn back now unless you have at least 2 of the following: An open mind, common sense, a thick e-skin.

it seems that most people (especially women!!!) put a very high priority or importance on marriage and kids. Most of them see it like an iceberg: You see the top 10% of what it is above the surface of the ocean but do not consider the other 90% beneath the surface.

Furthermore with the economy collapsing at an accelerating rate, to maintain a complete family at full standard living (no chronic diseases and other discomforts for everyone) in a middle class family an income of near 6 figures is required. Most people don't earn that much. The poverty line threshold is also rising as a result of inflation (at least in my experience first hand). Overpopulation contributes to these problems.

so you build yourself up and then forfeit everything you have, materialistic and abstract for marriage and kids (which has also no warranty of turning out to be what you wanted it to be).
and with conditions like these in our society and planet, where we even the most ambitious and hardworking young adults can't really maintain for ourselves fully due to low finances.

even our previous generation members keep telling us sometimes how the finances/resources were much easier obtainable or the salaries (or rather the value of the money back then) were much higher than they are today.

so due to these hardships and circumstances it's making less sense to bring more kids into here and legally chaining yourself to another person you both supposedly were approved to "be in love indeed". is marriage and kids overrated?

so i have 80 euros left, phone's broken costs 50 bux to fix i have numbers and all that shit on it which are of importance to me.

or wait one month and use the shitty Huawei Ascend that takes 3 minutes to even load youtube.

had an argument about it with my parents, i think option one is the best so that when i do decide to get a new phone in like 3 or 4 months or when i have enough money i can keep this one behind for when that one mysteriously fails.

I don't, tbh.

Due to the Internet, English has now become the international language. You'd need to be camping in backwoods Madagascar, or some similar place, to find yourself in a place where nobody understood basic English.

We speak two languages inside my own home. But I don't feel that tax money should be spent facilitating this, not these days. When I was in school, various languages still could have been argued to have been of international importance, and some people believed that Russian, Mandarin and even German (lmao) were going to become important means of international communication. But none of them ever have.

I say, if you want to learn foreign languages, as a native English-speaker, good on you, but that IS on you, and you shouldn't expect tax money to pay for it.

Thoughts?

My opinion. Vaccines don't give austism for 3 reasons.
1. Why would the government make vaccines to cause austism to kids if then, the government has to use to money to pay disability welfare to the autistic kids, it's generally making themselves pay unnecessary bullshit and there is no logic.
2. Why not developing countries doing the same thing? Because they first hand of what diseases can do and know the importance of vaccination.
3. Your not only risking your own child but also others kids that didn't got vaccinated for various reasons (mostly health reasons) and a chance of epidemic, there was one county in USA that dozen of children died from measles.
