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

I agree.

I mean my wife was 25 when we got married. I had 92k in student loans from grad school that I wasn’t about to have hanging over us while bringing kids into the world. We paid them off then she was between 30-35 when our 3 were born.

You may say it was the fiscally responsible thing to do. There is a lot of real estate between life of luxury and just simply being in a place to succeed these days.

Have you looked at childcare prices?

Before you say the mother stays home from work have you looked at the average pay for those in the job force at 25?

Not to mention it's preferred to own a home before bringing a child into the world. Have you looked at home prices and interest rates?

Have you looked at the average medical bill for having a child in the US?

Also what do you consider luxury? I guess owning a home is a luxury in your mind.
