1 yKids are a huge tax and not just financially speaking. I think the only people that should be having kids, should seriously want kids. This isn't the old days where you get paid for having more kids. Let me explain...
You can still get paid, but only if they're not your kids. The state will pay you for taking in kids. I know this because I spent most my child hood as Great Grandparent's paycheck, and then again in foster care making money for some woman that used us for farm work (which made her money) as well as the state paying her for taking us in.
If you don't do farm work... kids are fucking useless. They're nothing but a tax if you can't use them for help.
And as a parent who's last child was autistic... I was changing diapers on a fucking 8 year old. Think about having to wipe the shit of your boy's balls about 6 times a day and then feeding the fucker to make more shit for you to clean. You don't know what you're going to get... even my wife that wanted to keep having kids until she had a girl said fuck this and got her tubes tied.
Thankfully I'm fucking rich. Not rich rich, but rich enough that I don't work and could manage this bullshit. My other kid that's working fast food jobs, think he's gen z, won't join the military because he wants to smoke weed and make sure his chick doesn't cheat while he's away... I feel for him. Him and the girl work... she gets gov benefits and hides the fact that he's around (same reason black men feel the gov broke apart the black families)... just so they can get enough to survive. Biden straight up fucked that generation. They're already fucked... and my generation was fucked too. I feel like I'm ranting so I'm gonna just stop... but fucking A I could rant about this shit for hours.
TL;DR Kids are a tax with no benefit. Doing it for no reason is like learning guitar for no reason. You're only going to do it if you can afford it or have a reason... or... you're just stupid and wasting your time.
I'm not going to add a picture to this because this actually pissed me off and I don't want the superb opinion. FML and I'm sorry to you younger generations... you're more fucked than I was. Even joining the military isn't an escape for you fuckers.

m 1 yPeople should not have kids until they are emotionally and financially secure enough to have a child, with a check being made before each child. The financially bit is working off the ‘without state support’. Unfortunately there does appear to be a link between those less well off, less well educated and the number of kids they have. I also believe that simply being born in that country does not grant citizenship if your parents are not citizens of that country. I have a bunch of friends that have German citizenship purely because they were born in Germany, Netherlands but their parents are British. The same applies to anyone born here in the UK, born here and your parents are not citizens, then tough, neither are you.
This is a global thing, people in countries that currently struggle to feed their existing population are constantly banging out multiple kids and then struggle to feed everyone.Take a look at the 1980 world population and now, no one said ‘oh we need to dramatically increase the population’

Anonymous(25-29)1 yIt takes more than money to raise a kid. There are plenty of people who can "afford to have kids" and raise f**ked up kids who add nothing to society and turn out to be absolutely horrible people.
You should be financially, emotionally and if possible mentally prepared to have a kid. Not because you can afford to bring one into the world or because you're bored or because you think you'd do a better job than your parents but that's something else.
I've been to poor countries where people end up with so many kids because they can't afford contraception. Not everything is as accessible as it is in the west.
Kids need love, stability, consistency, order structure, a safe environment etc not just the bills paying and a roof over their heads.
Also, your financial status is never really guaranteed. You could be fine today and wake up and have nothing tomorrow. Nothing is for certain. Then what? When you had the kid you were able to afford them then you couldn't. Does that mean you stop being a parent? No, you still need to provide. You still need to be a parent coz someone else is depending on you to keep them safe.

If u can’t even have money, how can u have others?
Actually poor people shouldn’t have kids, people who aren’t happy with their partner shouldn’t have kids, people who have mental illness (who maybe caused dangerous if they have kids) shouldn’t have kids, people who bring genetics disorders shouldn’t have kids, people eho don’t have enough parenting knowledge shouldn’t have kids. So yeah, it’s not only money. But if 1st thing to raise kids they don’t have (school, education health care need money), they shouldn’t have kids.

But the way that there isn’t that much access to healthcare for lower class and there isn’t that much protection or education on how to wait on having sex people end up in the situations that they’re in or wait on their thought of do I want this right now?

There are a lot of contraception and protection. Avoid to get pregnant doesn’t mean u have to avoid s3x. If u want, just do it. Just if you are poor and seem like can’t afford kid, just at least get protection or contraception.

I've answered questions on here before where the girl wants to have a baby she's 18 years old and she wants to have a baby and I would say to her before you can have a child you need to have a house it needs to be paid for you need a car he needs to be paid for you need health insurance you need a job you need a daycare you need $300,000 in the bank because all those things you're going to need somewhere somehow in order to bring your child up right..
I am one of the most luckiest people in this world
My mom divorced my dad when I was 1 years old she remarried had two more kids got divorced from him when. Was 10 years old married another guy when I was 12 or 13 I left her house when I was 16. My mom was dirt poor and she raised three children.
Going to school if I wanted to Levi's or if I wanted a Nike or reeboks I had to pay for half of them because if I wanted them she didn't have that type of money because she had two other kids so I would go to work I would pay for whatever it was that I wanted. So being poor also made it so if I wanted a car I was going to have to go out and work for it if it broke down I was going to have to fix it I was going to have to buy something used.
And to me looking back at it it was a blessing because not having things made me appreciate things more if my car broke down I had to fix it I had to figure it out no matter what it was in life I had to figure it out and to this day I can tell you I am so blessed because I can build I can fix I can do any and everything and I can do it very very well because I couldn't pay somebody to do it I had to figure it out myself and that was everything in life so being poor isn't really that bad if you make other things work for you where I was very lucky with my mom said a good foundation she made sure that I had morals values and ethics and when I left the house at 16 I had to start life all over again because living at home was not like living out in a new world where everybody's different and everybody sees and feels things different so I had to learn everything all over again money does not raise a child you need parents to raise a child and you need love to raise a child we might not have had what we wanted but we had something and we were taught love little bits and pieces of it but we were taught it and that's more than money could ever buy I wouldn't change a thing growing up I really wouldn't you don't have to have money it's nice to have money.
But I know some girls that I dated that their parents had lots of money and I didn't date them very long because they were snobby ass b****** who were entitled to everything
Somebody asked me would you rather marry a rich girl or a poor girl I said a poor girl because a poor girl is content she's happy not having anything before she knows what life is all about where a rich girl doesn't have a clue because she's been handed everything and if she doesn't get away she's going to throw a tantrum where poor girl doesn't have what she wants she's going to make it work
Nowadays whether you're rich or poor doesn't even matter because most kids don't get attention and the love and the caring and treated like kids should be treated they are yelled at they are screamed at their bullied and that's b*******. That's rich people and poor people it doesn't matter there's just some people that should never ever be allowed to have kids doesn't matter how rich or poor you are some people are not mentally capable of raising a child because of their actions they make it about themselves and not their child and that's wrong10 Reply
1 yI think that it's too simplistic to say that, because in essence, that's a rather racist statement, if we analyse it according to the poverty rates in the US.
The number of black people whose income falls below the poverty line is double that of white people. So if we follow that out, essentially we'd be saying a higher percentage of black people should not have kids because of their poverty. Yikes.
What we really need to examine is why two incomes are required to meet basic needs like housing, food, fuel, and clothing, why childcare is prohibitively expensive, and why higher education has become an increasingly insurmountable barrier for people. That's just a basic version.
One option for reducing poverty rates might be legislation regulating the amount of housing sold to foreign buyers until certain supply and demand metrics are met for domestic buyers. Another would be making higher education more accessible for people. The better educated people are, the less children they have, actually.
It's not as black and white as "poor people shouldn't have kids". There's far more complexity to it.

1 yI see both sides to it. I think in the west we live very privileged lives and can say "You shouldn't have kids if you aren't financially ready." I myself wouldn't want kids unless I'm able to give them every opportunity I want them to have.
But once you realize the world's average income ANNUALLY is $12,000/year, that changes your perspective. The majority of people in the world live in poverty and since ancient times, the majority of people also lived in poverty in the west. It was only people of royalty that were able to have all the luxuries in life.
Most people have the desire to find love and raise a family of their own, and I think it's absolutely wrong to deny them that option.
If this question was not about money and rather overall character, my answer would be different. I think there's a lot of terrible people in the world that abuse their kids and traumatize them growing up. Those people should not have children. I think it's more important that a kid comes from a loving and caring family than a financially stable or wealthy family.
If you grew up poor, would you rather have not been born at all? I think the most of us would prefer to experience life, regardless of how hard it is and try to live to our fullest potential.00 Reply 1K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.

1 yThis is a tough subject because it really comes down to the initial quality of life, the terms of the parents and how they're connected, and if they will remain connected poverty, when you involve that that's direct line to quality of life and children all should never have to question why they don't have something that is a staple item. They should always have food. They should always have an outlet to have creativity and imagination they should always, be praised for good behavior and proper thought processes. I don't mean to get off topic. This is a very intricate and actually personal question/topic. I was born and raised in a poor family, alcohol and drug abuse from my parents. I actually don't remember a whole lot of my childhood because I was alone a lot and not a whole lot when your child when you by yourself becomes memorable it's a learning curve every day all day and teach yourself the rights and wrongs of everything that you go through that day and it becomes so natural that it's not an experience that you feel you've achieved an accomplishment because it's just you understanding something with yourself by yourself so that loan it is enough to think about not having children because you can't afford certain things once they are born and growing and learning if you know that you're not gonna be what they need you don't need to being that's going to suffer before they even able to comprehend that they exist. I apologize if this is too jumbled and just me rambling, but it's because this hits home very hard so very hard. Some of this means something to you because it means a lot to me.

1 ythere are multiple factors that should be considered...
kids are cruel... they will voice their opinion about poorer colleagues in indecent way...
kids need to belong to the peer group, but being the only one poor in the group would make a kid the target
kids evaluate others using what they have and others don't...
some teachers and parents of other kids also aren't fans of poorer kids...
so... if poor parents aren't able to raise confident kids who are well aware of their value... the risk of raising a future victim is quite high... and why bring a kid to this world to make them suffer?

Growing up poor sucks! And for a lot of us, it followed us as adults.
We didn't have grandparents leave us any money or anything else when they died. Thank is how a lot of people end up with money when they are older cause the grandparents had houses and property they left to their children and grandchildren.

I am a deep thinker and consequently I do think that bringing a new human being into this world cannot be taken lightly especially if you consider the times we live in. And when one day I become a mother I will want to give everything and more that child and protect that child from all life's sufferings. That child did not ask or have any say in the decision of having been brought into the world and I think if you don't have enough resources for yourself let alone for a child one should be very mindful of that.

My parents didn’t started off financially secure in any means and worked their way up, but I still grow up with a humbled mindset and doing just fine. There’s many ways to navigate resources and able to be good parents to their kids.

1 yNo, having kids adds meaning to your life that costs money. Money became our new God so no one had kids messing up our economy to make it more and more expensive to have kids. So now instead of being married having tax benefits you actually have less benefits. This weirdly makes it so having kids only makes sense if you're already 'middle' to lower income because nothing changes. High income doesn't really exist or they don't bother getting legally married. The point is, screw the system as hard as you can while getting screwed. Having kids has incredible reward and cost so I would put these trivial ideas of predictable outcomes aside and figure what gives your life meaning and happiness and pursue it fully knowing everything good comes at a cost.

As long as you can fulfill their basic needs without forcing other people to care for the kids, then you should make as many babies as you want. As soon as neglect or welfare becomes their reality, you're in the wrong.

Anonymous(36-45)1 yNot at all. People should have kids when they're young and people tend to be poor when they're young.
Losers shouldn't have kids.
Single people shouldn't have kids.But if they're in a loving relationship, having kids can make a LOT of sense even if you're still poor. But you SHOULD have a plan and some progress to a career and fixing that problem!

m 1 yI don't agree with that Nazi stuff...
how about being more responsible as government, and provide basic necessities, ensure there's access to it00 Reply 26.4K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. People that cannot afford to have kids should not have them. The rest of us should not have to pay for kids that are not their own.
It is not fair to bring a baby into the world that will be born into abject poverty.

Anonymous(36-45)1 yNope. I vehemently disagree with this elitest mindset. It is the same idea that lead to the Holocaust in Germany, The Holodomor in Ukraine, The Great Leap Forward in China (they lept over the bodies of murdered Chinese citizens), as well as most other modern genocides.

1 yThese are highly unimaginative people. Kids can, in fact, be profit generators. Just look at Donald Trump, Jr.
03 ReplyPOV: Just vibin' here, but like, who even decides if someone should have kids based on cash flow? 🤔 Kids are a whole mood, and fam is everything, ya know? BFFs can help out, and honestly, money ain't the only thing that matters. FWIW, love and support can go a long way, so let’s not be salty about it. No cap, every situation is different, and we gotta keep it real! 🥴✨

@strateguy632 Unless the original native population perpetrates an armed fascist uprising of ethnic cleansing just as Hitler did. I don't support this but it is the only way Europe can preserve its cultural and ethnic heritage. But they are so owned by historic American largess that they will continue to spiral down the drain. They desperately need LePen just as we need Trump.

1 y"Poor" is a relative term but the issue here is that if people who couldn't financially support children didn't have them, not enough children would be born to sustain the population.
