Is it realistic for couples without assets or a car to raise children?

[Jewelmyth]

Frankly, I don't think it makes sense for couples who don't even have a car to have children; when a baby is born, it needs to be taken to the hospital at regular intervals, so they can't constantly take taxis or buses. Even I wouldn't consider getting married without a good job; marriage is a serious thing, it should be good both financially and emotionally.

Well I can't tell you what to do and i think your very wise person

I could say sure if a couple are deep in love no arguments ever Love is Everything yeah you can raise a child that way but

You never know what's going to happen You never know if you have to go someplace you never know if you're going to need insurance if you're going to have a roof over your head

If you knew everything that was going to happen way in advance so you could prepare for it things might be okay but since we don't know that you have to prepare for it and get it way ahead of the game before you even have a child that way when something does happen you are prepared that's what it boils down to is having everything already before you have kids have a house have your cars have insurance have money in the bank just in case anything happens

people around me have kids but can afford a car. but a baby just needs checks in clinic. rare to rush to hospital so that is not a reason. and how is a taxi slower? traffic that slows a taxi -same slows a car even if can drive. so car is not a factor. can take an uber.

As you said 'regular intervals' so can plan and go by bus. still those without cars- dont buy petrol nor insurance! so salary is available! for family. so not having a car is better for having kids.

Sure. India and Africa have many families who have lots of kids, but no car or assets. Many get by fine as well.

Your mind is too small to comprehend that the world lives better than you do. People make things work, when they have a need to. Simply having a "car" or " assets" means little if you are a shit person with no work ethic or emotional control like most Americans and Israelis do.

Hence why the population rates are falling like a stone.

There are countless places throughout the world where a car is not necessary. However, raising a child without the financial assets as well as the time required to do it, is a bad decision for everyone involved, especially the child.

Neanderthals raised babies. No home, no car, no job, and he still made out OK or we wouldn’t be here.

[NathanDavis]

that's the reality of many...

is it ideal? not really, no

What do you think people did before cars were invented?
What do you think they do in Manhattan where owning a car is a burden?

[bananathunder]

it happens. Poor people love having kids for some reason lol

[KostasKouvalis]

I've been thinking about that and I think NO

[Snowman84]

Many people in the world don’t have cars.
