Upper middle class and middle class, educated people need to stop waiting until 35 to get married and have kids.


The conditions forcing people to put off starting families need to change first. I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

Rampant narcissism and a belief that everyone is entitled to luxury at age 25?

I agree.

Why do you think people like the aforementioned Mormons or some of the traditional Catholic types (go to any Sunday Latin mass if you want to see what I'm referencing) seem immune, or at least not nearly as phased, by these "conditions"?

Women I know.

Now if they were saying they couldnt afford a child, then i would agree with you. But a child is a free check from the government, so they arent saying that.

You are correct.

It starts with printing funny money and the policies on borders, trade and war that go to prop up the funny money Federal Reserve scheme.

In 1971 the Federal Reserve was completely decoupled from the gold standard. What happened next was the destruction of the middle class. At least gold to some extent held money printing in check prior to 1971.
