Born To Slay 10,996 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I can see why. Children are expansive. If I get a job and have a house and family. I'll have semi-little disposable income. But if I just get a small apartment and no kids, I'll be able to have a sizable amount of disposable income. **** children. I'll keep the money.

I feel people may not be ready to have children in their mid-twenties anymore. There have been moments in history where average people were poorer than now and birth rates were higher. What ur saying may play a role of course but i dont think its just that the problem isnt just pay. Modern generation demands more things. Young people today spend more on electronics, entertainment, going out etc whereas older generation used to save up to get married then start a family Nothing wrong with living and getting more out of youth. But theres a cost associated with modern living and so stagnant wages are only a slice of the pie... peoples modern standards also raise costs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
